Brave Girl Eating de Harriet Brown

Brave Girl Eating

Autor Harriet Brown
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 iul 2013
Winner of the Books for a Better Life Award 2011

Millions of families are affected by eating disorders, which usually strike women between the ages of fourteen and twenty.

Conventional medical wisdom dictates separating the patient from the family and insists that 'it's not about the food', even as a family watches a child waste away before their eyes. Harriet Brown shows how counterproductive - and heartbreaking - this approach is by telling her daughter's story of anorexia. She describes how her family, with the support of an open-minded paediatrician and a therapist, helped her daughter recover using family-based treatment, developed at the Maudsley Hospital in London.

Brave Girl Eating is essential reading for families and professionals alike, a guiding light for anyone who's struggling to cope with this devastating disease.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

I’ve never had anorexia, but I know it well. I see it on the street, in the gaunt and sunken face, the bony chest, the spindly arms of an emaciated woman. I’ve come to recognize the flat look of despair, the hopelessness that follows, inevitably, from years of starvation. I think: That could have been my daughter. It wasn’t. It’s not. If I have anything to say about it, it won’t be.
In this emotionally resonant and compelling memoir, journalist and professor Harriet Brown takes readers—moment by moment, spoonful by spoonful—through her family’s experience with the nightmare of anorexia. A guiding light for anyone touched by this devastating disease, Brave Girl Eating is essential reading for families and professionals alike.
