How to Overcome Eating Disorders - Breaking Free for a Better Life, by Louise V Taylor

This new book, written to help people (and families) understand and overcome eating disorders, is interesting, not least because it's written by someone who's had an eating disorder herself - both anorexia and bulimia - who went on to study psychology and nutrition. So it comes with insight from a former sufferer, and there's a shed load of the very latest science and treatment options, helping people to consider which approach to treatment and recovery may be most effective for them.

Not everyone gets help from their doctor, so for those trying to recover without professional support, there's a look at resources to help, ideas for effective self-management, complementary therapies, nutrition, and stories from people who've been there, done that, recovered, and gone on to live a fulfilling life. They're detailed stories that many readers will relate to. This book, part autobiographical, is different from many other texts on eating disorders, and I can happily recommend it to anyone with an interest in this important subject.  To order a copy, click here
