Having gone through anorexia myself, I have read nearly every book on the subject that I could find over the past 20 years. 100 Questions and Answers About Anorexia Nervosa held my interest to the end and I learned aspects about the disorder that I never knew or considered. Dr. Shepphird addresses the key questions about anorexia with a mix of sound, scientific objectivity and real compassion. Here is someone who really understands, and bridges the shame and embarrassment factors so common in eating disorders. These are exactly the questions that would have been of most help to me when I was struggling in the disease. This book provides understanding and hope to those who suffer, as well as guidance, direction, and resources for recovery.

From the Foreword by Kitty Westin….

100 Questions and Answers about Anorexia Nervosa is full of good information. It is a practical and easy to read and it answers many of the most frequently asked questions in an easy to understand, non-judgmental and straightforward way. It should be on the bookshelf of every high school and public library in the country; it should be made available to all clinicians, educators, and community members who work with youth. Parents and loved ones should be given a copy when they are just beginning the journey into recovery from anorexia.

Thank you Dr. Shepphird!
