Reviews: "A useful and informative manual....A range of clinical techniques is presented....I found these immediately useful for bulimic patients, as well as for patients in general....What I found to be the most impressive aspect of the book, was the authors' description of the possible integration of alternative therapeutic techniques, such as those of interpersonal psychotherapy....I found the section discussing managed care to be very thoughtful and considerate to therapists, especially in the current health care climate....A very interesting and helpful book that would be useful for any practitioner working with patients who struggle with bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder."--Eating Disorders About the Authors: Rene D.
