description: A practical step-by-step guide through the process of recovery from the devastating illness of anorexia and related eating disorders. Anorexia nervosa is a mysterious illness and as a result there is insufficient information about recovery. This book responds to that lack, exploring the medical, clinical, psychological and emotional nature of the illness and offering practical solutions for each aspect. It contains a real-life account of author Melinda Hutchings’ own personal battle and eventual recovery, together with personal descriptions by her family – mother, father, two sisters and brother – of their reactions and how they coped with the serious illness of a loved one. This section in particular provides invaluable assistance for friends, family and carers. The step-by-step process is then described in detail, backed up by many case histories, with clinical psychologist Chris Thornton providing the clinical background. Essential reading for sufferers and for those who love and care about them, this book’s message is one of inspiration and hope with the end-goal of full recovery.
