Anorexia Nervosa: An Integrated Approach to Treatment

Anorexia nervosa is a potentially fatal disorder that is notoriously difficult to treat and provokes feelings of great frustration in carers, families and friends. Agnes Ayton offers a new perspective, bringing together what is currently known and scientifically verified with her own ground-breaking work combining psychotherapy with nutritional supplementation. Providing sufferers and carers with a knowledge of the full range of treatment options empowers them to make informed choices that can be tailored to the individual's needs. Uniquely the book: * focuses on anorexia as opposed to eating disorders in general * emphasises nutrition, including the effects of starvation, dietary 'prescriptions', menu plans, and particular deficiencies associated with particular diets * explores the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) model as a basis for understanding cause and providing treatment * integrates pharmacological, psychological and nutritional treatment options Providing sufferers and carers with a knowledge of the full range of treatment options empowers them to make informed choices that can change lives for the better.
