A paperback handbook by Jean L Casteel written for caregivers, families and support people of someone with anorexia nervosa, and for people navigating the disorder themselves. It sets out to explain what anorexia is, how to spot early physical, behavioral and emotional warning signs, the causes and risk factors, and the cost of leaving it untreated. Its pitch is warm and practical rather than clinical, aimed at readers who want plain language and guidance on how to respond. It sits with caregiver-focused titles rather than clinical textbooks or memoir, so it suits families looking for orientation more than clinicians seeking treatment protocols.

Breaking the Grip of Anorexia Nervosa is a handbook for caregivers, family members and support people of someone with anorexia nervosa. It is also written for people dealing with the disorder themselves and for professionals who work with people affected by eating disorders. The tone is practical and plain, with little medical jargon.
The book explains what anorexia nervosa is, its causes and risk factors, and the early physical, behavioral and emotional warning signs. It also covers the long-term cost of untreated anorexia and why early intervention matters.
Later chapters cover the caregiver's role in recovery and how to avoid burnout, along with building a supportive home environment. They explain treatment options, therapy approaches, professional roles, medication considerations and multidisciplinary care teams. They also give guidance on nutritional support and mealtimes, communicating through denial and resistance, coping strategies, gradual social reintegration, identifying triggers and building a relapse prevention plan.
