Our take on the Overcoming Anorexia Nervosa (16pt Large Print Edition), (Paperback)

A self-help book by psychiatrist Chris Freeman, built on the cognitive behavioural therapy programme he used with patients at his Royal Edinburgh eating disorders clinic. The first part explains anorexia nervosa and how CBT treats it, for sufferers, families and therapists; the second is a step-by-step recovery programme. It is one of the few CBT-based self-help titles for anorexia, where most books in the field are memoirs or general guides to eating disorders. Suits someone who wants a structured, clinically grounded workbook rather than inspiration, and families trying to understand the illness.

About the Overcoming Anorexia Nervosa (16pt Large Print Edition), (Paperback)

Overcoming Anorexia Nervosa is a self-help guide based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It was originally developed as a manual for anorexia patients at the author's eating disorders clinic in the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. It is the first self-help book based on CBT to address anorexia nervosa.

The first part introduces anorexia nervosa and its treatment with cognitive behavioral techniques. It is written for therapists, sufferers and their families. The second part is a self-help programme for recovery, based on the treatment the author has used with hundreds of patients.

Anorexia occurs most frequently among young women, but it affects men and women of all ages and social groups, internationally. CBT is an established method of treating emotional disorders such as anorexia, depression and panic by changing negative patterns of thought. The book belongs to the Robinson series of CBT self-help guides, written by practising clinical psychologists.

Questions and answers

Is this a workbook or a general guide?
Both. The first half explains anorexia and its CBT treatment; the second is a self-help programme of steps to work through, drawn from the author's clinic.
Can I use it without a therapist?
It is written to be usable on your own, but anorexia is a serious illness. Most clinicians advise using it alongside professional care, and the book is also aimed at therapists and families.
How does it differ from other books on anorexia?
Most popular titles are personal accounts or broad guides. This one is a CBT-based treatment manual adapted for self-help, written by a clinical psychiatrist.
What is the 16pt large print edition?
It is the same text set in 16-point type, which suits readers who find standard print small, including older readers and those reading in poor light.
Is it suitable for a parent of a teenager with anorexia?
The explanatory section helps families understand the illness and the treatment logic. It is not a parenting guide, and a teenager's care should be led by a clinician.
Does it cover men and older adults?
Yes. It notes that anorexia affects men and women of all ages and social groups, though much of the clinical material centres on young women, where it is most common.
Where is the Overcoming Anorexia Nervosa (16pt Large Print Edition), (Paperback) cheapest?
