Anorexia Nervosa by A H Crisp
The theme of this text is the enduring relationship of anorexia nervosa to the unfolding of puberty, which transcends and shapes the input of "fashion". Anorexia nervosa is closely related to the personal challenges of adolescence and further growth within the individual and family. The author sees the disorder as an avoidance of the mounting fear of normal adult weight, with puberty at its pivot. His approach to all those concerned involves their engagement and empowerment in the prospect of renewed, healthier growth and recovery. It is significantly effective in both the short and the long term.
The book is not only a concise introduction for therapists, doctors and nurses interested in anorexia nervosa; it is also accessible - through the avoidance of medical and psychological jargon - to anorectics and their familiesWithout making the process seem easy, Crisp's writing is pervaded by optimism (backed by treatment outcome data) and a respect for the patient's struggle. The book is a most useful addition to the literature. - British Journal of Medical Psychology
