This is the second edition of a guide to assessing and treating anorexia nervosa in primary and secondary care. It is based on the first author's "St George's" Approach, first published in 1994.
The book outlines, in a clear and practical way, the minimal intervention needed in primary and secondary care settings. The aim is to identify the psychopathology of this serious and life-threatening illness and then treat it with some hope of success.
It describes a time-limited, basic intervention. The patient and therapist, and to some extent the family, use the self-help book Anorexia Nervosa: The Wish to Change together with the Patient's Log Book. All three books can be purchased as a package.
