Professor Kate Tchanturia, King’s College London
An important read for patients, families and clinicians to learn about what eating disorder recovery looks like from two experienced clinicians. Very interesting work.
Dr Giulia Sciolli, Department of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge
A book that goes to the heart of the problem with eating disorders - their complexity - and makes that complexity more understandable not only to those who suffer from these conditions, but to family carers and friends, too. Giombini and Nesbitt, together with the voices of some of their patients and carers, write with brave honesty about how frustratingly difficult, unpredictable, messy and imperfect recovery from an eating disorder is, but also about how, notwithstanding this, it is all about learning to trust - oneself and those who reach out to help.
Paola Falcoski, Advanced Special Eating Disorder Dietician
An absolute must read! It invites us to think about the meaning of recovery in a very compassionate, holistic and human way. I would encourage everyone to read it.
Claire Higgins, Clinical Psychologist
A very readable book for young people and families experiencing eating disorders. It offers a realistic perspective of the challenges and weaves stories of recovery and hope throughout.
