This comprehensive, contemporary, and practical guide to understanding and supporting people living with eating difficulties and eating disorders. Drawing on insights from people with lived experience, their families, and leading clinicians, therapists, and researchers, it offers real-world strategies to help individuals recover, live well, and thrive in their communities.

Readers will find practical guidance for healthcare professionals, educators, and voluntary organisations, as well as parents, schools, and workplaces, on how to provide effective and compassionate support.
