No disorders have proven more baffling to the medical community. This electrifying book, whose author attracted worldwide attention when her theories were featured on "20/20," "Pamela Wallin Live," and "Oprah," exposes the inner logic of eating disorders and outlines a radical new approach to their successful, permanent treatment. Powerful, candid and bracing in its common sense, The Secret Language of Eating Disorders offers hope to the families of the afflicted.
