By Lorraine Savage

Eating disorders are serious, potentially life-threatening conditions that impact a teen's emotional and physical health. Provide your readers with essential information on eating disorders. This book also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on the controversies surrounding its causes. Compelling first-person narratives by people coping with eating disorders give readers a first-hand experience. Readers will learn from the words of patients, family members, or caregivers. The symptoms, causes, treatments, and potential cures are explained in detail. Alternative treatments are also covered. Each essay is carefully edited and presented with an introduction, so that they are accessible for student researchers and readers.
