Opis

Your Dieting Daughter is written for mothers who have daughters suffering from an eating disorder or disorders. It also serves as a reference for doctors, therapists, nutritionists, and eating disorder centers, and is an appropriate book for the same audience to recommend to clients. In the first edition, Dr. Costin, a well-respected therapist in the field, gave sound and practical advice for mothers to help them communicate with and understand their daughters as they go through the ordeal of eating disorders. There were letters, anecdotes, and diet plans along with recipes included, and readers enjoyed the unique focus of the mother/daughter relationship that the book stayed true to. This second edition contains addition information on cultural issues, newer studies (such as DBT, Mindfulness, and Maudsley techniques), and medication. On the clinical front, the focus has also been broadened to include more information on issues of body image, weight concerns, and dieting in the general population, making this an indispensible guide for knowledge, as well as emotional reconnection and healing.

Recenzje

"Carolyn Costin has given us a welcome and timely update in her new version of Your Dieting Daughter, given that girls are beginning to diet at younger and younger ages and that there is great confusion about dieting and the "obesity crisis."  In a lively and engaging style and with wisdom gained from personal experience and years in the field, Carolyn Costin illuminates the issues and offers practical, compassionate, and useful advice for parents and all caregivers." - Jean Kilbourne, EdD, creator of the Killing Us Softly: Advertising's Image of Women film series and author of Can't Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel.
