Rezensionen

'To say that this book is timely is to make an understatement. It
is overdue. Paul Robinson has done the field of eating disorders
- patients, carers and professionals - a major service
by tackling head-on important and damaging myths about eating
disorders.

'In this short book, he sets out the case against the
trivialisation and relative neglect of eating disorders in general
and builds the case that in particular a substantial number of
people, mainly with chronic Anorexia Nervosa, have disorders that
are, by any rational standard, both severe and enduring. The book
describes the problems of such people and how they may be
approached and at least ameliorated. It is sensible, lively, useful
and thought-provoking. All clinicians involved with eating
disorders should read it.

--Professor Bob Palmer, Psychiatry, University of
Leicester

"In an era of therapeutic optimism and belief in the healing
powers of brief psychological therapies, the plight of people with
severe and enduring eating disorders remains a neglected topic.
Drawing on parallels and differences to other severe mental
disorders, this unique book provides a sound and practical
framework for working with these patients. Thoughtful,
compassionate, easy-to-read, and imbued with the author's
considerable clinical wisdom and research knowledge, this book
fills an important gap."

--Professor Ulrike H. Schmidt, Professor of Eating
Disorders, Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London

'Paul Robinson continues to address the largely unmet needs
of individuals with severe and chronic eating disorders. His
description of Severe and Enduring Eating Disorders is clinically
compelling and should be familiar to most clinicians working in the
area. His approach is broad based, comprehensive, and pluralistic
in terms of theoretical perspective. Moreover, the book is full of
practical information regarding patients', families',
and clinicians' needs. It is a significant contribution
regarding this group of patients with tremendous treatment
needs.'

--Dr Stephen Wonderlich, Associate Chairperson and
Professor, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, University of North
Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences and Director of
Clinical Research, Neuropsychiatric Research Institute
