Anorexics on Anorexia

Herausgeber: Shelley, Rosemary

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Recovering sufferers of Anorexia Nervosa describe in their own words their personal experiences of this illness, providing not only support for fellow sufferers but also invaluable insights for the families of sufferers and for carers. In each case the contributors, males and females, describe: the progression of their illness, the effects on their families, the treatment they received and its effectiveness, their perceived reasons for developing the illness, and where they are now. The contributors are drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds and include both men and women.
