Reviews for A Short Introduction to Understanding and Supporting Children and Young People with Eating Disorders
Down-to-earth and informative, this book provides practical information for busy professionals who come into contact with children who have eating disorders. Creative analogies demystify the eating disorders and case illustrations paint a vivid picture of how to help. I highly recommend this valuable resource.
