This book is intended for helpers and carers of all kinds who may say “How can I help - how can I be sure my efforts won't make matters worse?”. 

The authors make extensive use of their own experiences with clients to illustrate the dilemma of people with eating disorders and those trying to help.  This book describes the minute steps involved in providing the kind of help that truly enables people with anorexia or bulimia to leave their eating disordered lifestyle behind.
