Book Review: Eating Disorders: The Journey to Recovery Workbook, 2nd Ed.
There is no such thing as a life free of distress. And yet in the distress — by learning to move through it, find strengths that help us cope, and most importantly, not avoid it — we often find the path to growth.
This path, from finding escape from the distress of life to finding growth in it, is also the journey that underlies the recovery from an eating disorder.
“People with eating disorders, like all people, flourish when they feel a sense of agency,” write authors Laura J. Goodman and Mona Villapiano.
In their new book, Eating Disorders: The Journey to Recovery Workbook, 2nd Ed., Laura J. Goodman and ...

The new total of reports is larger than the number of unique cases because patients, providers, and manufacturers may all report a...
