[.ca] Hope, Help, and Healing for Eating Disorders: A New ... (ISBN 0877880646)

Not worth the time!:
I was first attracted to this book because it had exactly what I have been looking for- a list of questions and activities to do at the end of each chapter to help you recover. I do not agree with the approach the auther took at ALL. I admit, I didn't finish the book. I was THAT annoyed with it. It seemed to start down the trail of claiming that all eating disorders stem from some sort of abuse or another. The way it is written, it has you blame anyone you want; it seems as though the author is just setting you up for wanting revenge. At first I tried to follow along, but soon realized I was making up events and completely exaggerating things, just to "fit" into their mold that my eating disorder is a direct cause from abuse. Maybe this book helps people who really do have abuse issues that caused their eating disorder. I don't know, so I can't review this book for those people. But if you, like me, have had no history of abuse, don't even bother thumbing through this one. Just move on to the next book.

Not that good:
This book doesn't have the answers nor the path to help you arrive at where the answers could be. There are few good parts in it which is why I gave it 2 stars. This book would make a good work book to take to therapy, something I am unfortunately not able to participate in.

Hope, Help, and Healing for Eating Disorders:
This book gave me hope and has started to Heal my wounds from the past. The questions written in the book that you ask yourself are tough and do bring up painful memories. However, this is how you begin to heal and learn to forgive so that you can be set free from Anger, Unforgiveness and Shame and guilt. You do what you do to cope for a reason and a way of escape. I praise God that he has blessed me with this book. I pray it blesses you too.

Hope!:
Ok..I have also read all the other books...I heard this one mentioned on "Focus on the Family"..and then went I went to my Doctor for my Bulimia it was suggested again.And I am so grateful...I have used it with my counselor and it is extremely helpful!

This book I am sure saved my life.I have read so many.It really did give Hope and a plan that worked for me.
