Dying to Please is a clinical and personal account of anorexia nervosa by a therapist who has recovered from the disorder herself. The second edition expands the 1983 original with new material on accompanying disorders, Internet use and misuse, and the meaning of recovery. It walks through symptoms, causes and treatments, including family therapy and interventions, and closes with a resource directory, bibliography and index. It suits readers who want a therapist's framework alongside lived experience, rather than a memoir or a pure self-help workbook.

The 1983 first edition was called «a gem» by Booklist. Readers value the combination of the author's own recovery story with a therapist's account of the disorder.
This is the second edition of a book on anorexia nervosa, treatment and recovery. It updates the 1983 work with new information. The author is a therapist and a recovered anorexic, and she draws on her own experience and extensive research.
The book covers the symptoms, causes and treatments of anorexia nervosa. It looks at the anorexic's paradox of self-annihilation in service of self-preservation. It treats the development of a Self as the central task of recovery.
It also covers the origins and attributes of anorexia and accompanying disorders, the use and misuse of the Internet, and the concept of recovery. Different therapies are described in detail, along with therapies for families and interventions.
