Insight into Eating Disorders

Insight into Eating Disorders presents a detailed consideration of the causes and effects of different forms of eating disorders and offers hope to sufferers, their families and those working with them.

Issues covered include:

• understanding anorexia, bulimia and compulsive eating
• dealing with painful emotions
• expressing anger and resolving conflict
• establishing core identity
• facing reality and breaking free

Using case studies and with a wealth of practical and biblical insights, this book offers a lifeline to sufferers as well as insight and understanding for those wanting to help others with eating disorders.

The Waverley Abbey Insight Series is based on one-day seminars held by CWR at Waverley Abbey House to give insight into some key issues that many people struggle with today.
