    Synopsis

    Clearly and sensitively written, this exciting book covers all aspects of diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders. Zerbe, an internationally esteemed feminist psychiatrist, interlaces intelligent discussion with stories about individuals who have valiantly, though often at first reluctantly, engaged in recovery. Particularly appropriate for parents and loved ones who want a thorough understanding of eating disorders, The Body Betrayed specifically addresses mother/daughter and father daughter relationships, as well as explaining how a child with an eating disorder affects family dynamics.

    Also included in this in-depth look at eating disorders are chapters on the impact of sexual and physical abuse, the relationship between eating disorders and chemical dependency, medical complications, the biology of nutrition, pregnancy, athletics, treatment, and much more.

    Joel Yager

    What a rich, intelligent, and erudite book! Dr. Zerbe’s considerableexperience with eating disorders patients is informed by a compassionate heart; a deep and thorough knowledge of psychology, biology, culture, and the humanities; a gifted writer’s sensitive eye; and a poet’s appreciation for language.
