Product Description
This work offers a comprehensive, theoretically integrated model for understanding the aetiology of bulimia and for implementing treatment stategies. Drawing on an exhaustive analysis of the research, it describes the ways in which, for example, a family history of affective disorders, disturbances in the mother-child relationship, and a cultural preoccupation with thinness may interact to predispose a young woman to bulimia. In keeping with the aetiological view, this volume presents a multidimensional treatment approach, based on a unusual blend of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural principles. ... Read more

okay I guesse!
The book wasn't all that great but it also wasn't horrible.
Basically it's about a girl who wants to lose a few pounds to get a guy to notice her.Soon her losing a fewpounds becomes an obsession and she gets to be anorexic.
This book could be a mind changer for anyone who's thinking of starving themselves but it will never become a life saver.
Not to be mean or anythig but if the author was trying to teach young girls a lesson she totally could have done better!

Deceiving
This book, walking a thin line, doesnt have a real storie.It is a bunch of descriptions, and you always think that something may happen but nothing ever does... The book would have been better if the main rolde got annorexia nervosa and not her friend, because that is a problem and each book needs a problem, in this book there was no problem; only a girl complaining because of her weight.

The book wasnt awful but even the end wasn't marvelous and you dont feel attached to the characters as you do in other books (Molly by any other name) The book has no punch line or something, its just so incredibaly deceiving when you have 4 pages left and still no sign of any sickness.The book was quite predictable.I do not suggest this book.
Good-bye ... Read more
