This non-threatening, easy to read, and very informative book caputres the essence of this illness. I love the realistic examples, written in story format; the amazing information about eating disorders weaved creatively in the processing; and the ´what to do´ for parents and then their teens after each chapter. I am so impressed with this book! I have read several on eating disorders, but none have truly captured my attention and promotion as this one. The chapters are short and easy to read in one sitting, and ideal for even teens and their parents to read it together.
This book promotes the positive role that school counselors play in a child´s life, and I believe that after reading it, you will become more aware and a better advocate for those struggling with eating issues. Five stars, definitely!!!!!. And summed up by saying A Must Read!!!. Currently Conquering Eating Disorders: How Family Communication Heals has an overall rating of 8 over 10.

Seal Press claimed One out of every one hundred young women is anorexic. Four out of every one hundred are bulimic. Overall, research suggests that eight million Americans—men and women—have an eating disorder. Yet in the face of these startling statistics, parents do not have a clear understanding of how to help their child overcome an eating disorder. In Conquering Eating Disorders, Susan Cooper, a licensed psychologist and group psychotherapist, and Peggy Norton, a dietician with thirty years of experience, bridge the gap between the statistics and the real-life issues to help teens and parents gain the communication skills necessary to support the healing process. Parents need to know that only in Conquering Eating Disorders will you hear directly from teens struggling with eating disorders and get expert advice on how to interpret and respond to what your teen is saying—even when they´re not talking.
