Product Description
Surviving an Eating Disorder has become a classic since it was first published in 1988. It was one of the first books to offer effective support and solutions for family, friends, and all others who are the "silent sufferers" of eating disorders. This updated and revised edition provides the latest information on how parents, spouses, friends, and professionals can thoughtfully determine the right course of action in their individual situations.
With its combination of information, insight, case examples, and practical strategies, Surviving an Eating Disorder opens the way to new growth and helpful solutions in your relationship with your loved one.

By Dewie Weiner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Surviving An Eating Disorder Third Edition: Strategies for Family and Friends (Paperback)
I am a psychotherapist who has been working for 30 years with families where disordered eating is an issue. I recommend "Surviving an Eating Disorder" to practically every family I see in order to help them develop strategies for addressing specific situations. This book is easy to understand, informative, and offers a tremendous amount of practical advice. It can serve as a guide to families who are attempting to negotiate their tricky realtional waters when someone they love is dealing with an eating disorder. Dewie Weiner, LICSW, ACSW

A Therapist's Response, Mar 20 2009
By Dede Kammerling, LCSW - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Surviving An Eating Disorder Third Edition: Strategies for Family and Friends (Paperback)
Having received numerous calls from family members and friends of others struggling with eating disorders, I understand just how helpless people can feel when they want to begin to talk to and find help for those they care about. This book addresses these concerns in a thorough and straightforward way. Its authors, all skilled clinicians, bring both their expertise and compassion to an area in which meaningful dialogue is often difficult. They understand the importance of being able to recognize the early signs of an eating disorder and provide concrete guidance toward that end. Their sensitivity to both caregivers and prospective patients makes this book highly accessible and eminently useful to those on both sides of the problem. I have and will continue to recommend it with great confidence.

perfect first step, Jun 28 2010
By J. Burns - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Surviving An Eating Disorder Third Edition: Strategies for Family and Friends (Paperback)
Surviving an Eating Disorder, Strategies for Family and Friends is a poignant, insightful and sympathetic look into helping a loved one who is currently suffering or who has suffered from an eating disorder. Although the book focuses on the firsthand victims of the disorder it also offers advice to the "silent sufferers", the family and friends, in order to cope with the feelings of guilt and responsibility that inevitably occur. Opening the book with personal details from their lives give the authors more of an empathic feel rather than a medical one. You feel as though this is a close friend speaking to you, giving you knowledgeable insight into helping someone you care about regain control of their life, all the while aiding you in the understanding of what is truly going on and how you can be proactive in the journey to recovery. The many individual stories of patients brought a deep emotional connection to the book - it makes it much more real and much less lecture-based. It is impossible not to be emotionally touched by the subject matter, especially when it will hit so close to home for so many. Surviving an Eating Disorder, Strategies for Family and Friends is an amazing starting point to begin to help a loved one recover and to understand what we can control and accept what we cannot.
