Step-by-step - the proven path to recovery from bulimia nervosaStringent dieting and making yourself vomit after overeating are common features of bulimia nervosa, as are depression, anxiety and feelings of worthlessness. This illness causes great distress to sufferers and those who care about them, but in recent years there have been real advances in treatment.
In the fourth edition of this sympathetic and highly acclaimed guide, you will find a clear explanation of the disorder and the serious health issues that can result from it as well as learning about the treatments available today. Most importantly, this book offers a step-by-step programme for those who want to tackle their difficulties.
This programme has been found in independent clinical research to be of substantial benefit to people with bulimia nervosa (Psychological Medicine, 2005). This book will also give friends and family a much clearer understanding of the illness and its treatment.
OVERCOMING self-help guides use clinically proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical.
