Would you like a sneak preview of my new book "When Anorexia Came To Visit"? While I'm checking the final printed proof, I've uploaded the introductory pages here for you to read.
We (my wonderful volunteer editors and I) think we've picked up on any errors, but if you spot any, let me know before July because that's when the book goes to print.
Don't miss the jaw-dropping comment which Becky Henry overheard (and describes in her Preface) after an eating disorders conference in the States (where Janet Treasure OBE and Walter Kaye were speaking about the neuroscience of eating disorders).
She says: 'So you can imagine my dismay when, over lunch, a psychotherapist who had been working in the field for many years leaned over to me and said: “There may be some truth in what these two are saying but if it weren’t for pathological parents, we wouldn’t have eating disorders.”'
Want information on eating disorders in boys? Worried your son has an eating disorder? What are the signs of eating disorders in boys? In 2009 my 15-year-old son developed anorexia. Now aged 31 and with a MSc in Psychology he is recovered & working in mental health using his experiences to help others. I help to raise awareness of eating disorders in boys, point parents to helpful resources & talk about how eating disorders can traumatise families.
