This text presents an approach to working with women who have bulimia nervosa which is based on research showing that bulimia nervosa involves interpersonal, social and societal factors as well as the cognitive, developmental and behavioural aspects that have been the focus of much professional intervention to date. The author shows how people seeking to understand and emotionally support women with this complex problem need to be able to work with all these dimensions. The practical application of this multi-dimensional, systems-based understanding to treatment practice is demonstrated through three in-depth case studies.
Foreword. Preface. Introduction. Chapter 1: Scope and Significance of Bulimia Nervosa. Chapter 2: Therapeutic Themes. Chapter 3: Stages of Treatment. Chapter 4: Effective Tasks and Interventions. Chapter 5. General Session Procedure. Chapter 6: Case Study: Susanne. Chapter 7: Case Study: Marie. Chapter 8: Case Study: Elizabeth. Chapter 9: Control as a Central Theme. Appendices. References. Index.
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 transferable to other areas of practice and the case studies bring the application of theory, technique and task setting to life. The author is clearly 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 here, including some key theoretical considerations, which are both illuminating and though 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
