'...a succinct synopsis of the subject. The editing has resulted in a book with a style which is easy to read and frequent clinical illustrations illuminate the theory...It is simple enough for those without a large amount of theoretical knowledge to find it useful, but sufficiently detailed for those with more experience to find it of use.' - Helen Baxter, Journal of the Eating Disorders Association 'Very exciting, diverse, good to see something up to date.' - Dr Heenan, University of Bradford
