"Emotionally and physically devastating, anorexia nervosa is the third most common chronic illness among teenage girls, striking one in every two hundred (males make up 10% of all cases). In this book, Dr. Alexander Lucas offers clear guidance and authoritative advice on how to overcome anorexia nervosa. Based on his own unique research with thousands of patients, Dr. Lucas demystifies this seemingly irrational disease and guides parents through the harrowing process of recovery."--Jacket.
