Review
I am very excited about this book and believe it is very needed...for clients to have substantive things to read and do between sessions or on their own to help them understand and work through the underlying reasons for their eating disorder and accompanying destructive thoughts and behaviors.-Julie Campbell Ruggaard, PhD, LPCC.

Customer Reviews

a good try
this is a great workbook for people who have the time for a lot of writing and reflection -- and willpower to stay on track. an avid reader and searcher for all things pertaining to the treatment of eating disorders, i did not find this book to be much help above and beyond what you normally read in all the other "self help" books. Basically, it summarizes the other books and puts it into question/answer form. it also does not go into each area deeply enough to provide what i would consider lasting effects of treatment from the reflection. a good therapist and support group and/or network of support will do better than this book.

Wonderful!
As a therapist who works exclusively with eating disorders, I find myself using this workbook again and again with my clients. It is creative, compassionate, honest and thorough. Jam-packed with information and suggestions, clients can work through exercises at their own pace. Thus far each client who has used the workbook has benefited. They often cite the contributions from recovered people as providing them with hope when they are most lacking it. Whether you are working on recovery yourself or a clinician working with people with eating disorders, this book is a "must have." Very well done!

Eating Disorders-The Journey to Recovery Workbook
As a therapist in the field of eating disorders, and as a recovered person, I applaud the authors' ability to develop such a sensitively written workbook for people struggling to recover from eating disorders. It is clear that the authors' years of experience in the field helped them to develop a workbook that takes into consideration the complicated issues inherent in the eating disorders field. In particular, I loved the stories about people in recovery. They were truly inspirational. I was also impressed with the diversity of topics covered in the book. Substance abuse and men's issues are often ignored topics in the field. Several of my clients have used the workbook and all of their responses were positive. One of my clients said she loved the way in which the workbook combined the worksheets with more expressive ways of communicating. Bravo-it is a wonderful additional to the field of eating disorders!
