'To say that this book is timely is to make an understatement. Itis overdue. Paul Robinson has done the field of eating disorders- patients, carers and professionals - a major serviceby tackling head-on important and damaging myths about eatingdisorders. 'In this short book, he sets out the case against thetrivialisation and relative neglect of eating disorders in generaland builds the case that in particular a substantial number ofpeople, mainly with chronic Anorexia Nervosa, have disorders thatare, by any rational standard, both severe and enduring. The bookdescribes the problems of such people and how they may beapproached and at least ameliorated. It is sensible, lively, usefuland thought-provoking. All clinicians involved with eatingdisorders should read it. --Professor Bob Palmer, Psychiatry, University ofLeicester "In an era of therapeutic optimism and belief in the healingpowers of brief psychological therapies, the plight of people withsevere and enduring eating disorders remains a neglected topic.Drawing on parallels and differences to other severe mentaldisorders, this unique book provides a sound and practicalframework for working with these patients. Thoughtful,compassionate, easy-to-read, and imbued with the author'sconsiderable clinical wisdom and research knowledge, this bookfills an important gap." --Professor Ulrike H. Schmidt, Professor of EatingDisorders, Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London'Paul Robinson continues to address the largely unmet needsof individuals with severe and chronic eating disorders. Hisdescription of Severe and Enduring Eating Disorders is clinicallycompelling and should be familiar to most clinicians working in thearea. His approach is broad based, comprehensive, and pluralisticin terms of theoretical perspective. Moreover, the book is full ofpractical information regarding patients', families',and clinicians' needs. It is a significant contributionregarding this group of patients with tremendous treatmentneeds.' --Dr Stephen Wonderlich, Associate Chairperson andProfessor, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, University of NorthDakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences and Director ofClinical Research, Neuropsychiatric Research Institute
