`In contrast to the treatment of anorexia nervosa, not much has been written about systemic approaches to bulimia nervosa, and this book is a very good starting point… The book is very easy to read… There is a wealth of clinical material here which illustrates the approach through three detailed and evocative case studies. I would recommend this book to any practitioner on the field of eating disorders.'Child and Adolescent Mental Health"The strength of this book is that it is accessible, easy to read, very practical and has a strong practice focus. It provides some excellent ideas for intervention with people with eating disorders, many of which would be transferred to other areas of practice and the case studies bring the application of theory, technique and task setting to life. The author is cl;early passionate about her subject and this is often reflected in vivid and evocative prose.""Overall, I think there is much to learn from the material presented here, including some key theoretical considerations which are both illuminating and thought provoking. This book will certainly be of interest to anyone working in the field of eating disorders and represents a useful addition to the literature in this area".
