About The Starving Family:

 

We’ve heard from experts, and we’ve heard from patients...now it's time to hear from families. In this first of its kind book, author Cheryl Dellasega offers a guide for family caregivers of persons with eating disorders. Culled from the experiences of over a dozen diverse families who have "been there, done that," this book covers new territory on how to cope at home when anorexia, bulimia, or ED-NOS strikes a loved one. Using the wisdom of mothers and fathers who have supported struggling daughters and sons 24/7, insight, support, and strategies are presented that will appeal to both parents and professionals.

Reviews:

One of the greatest losses that comes with living with a loved one's eating disorder is the feeling of isolation.   This rich, deeply feeling book is a nourishment of connectedness:  We are not alone.  Thank you Cheryl Dellasega.

 

Laura Collins,

Author of Eating With Your Anorexic

 

“What sets [her] work apart, though, is its emphasizing the need to integrate parents into the treatment process...recommended for larger public libraries and for university libraries supporting the medical and helping professions.”
