Eight million women in the United States suffer from
anorexia nervosa and/or bulimia. For these women, the road
to recovery is a rocky one. Many succumb to their eating
disorders. Life Without Ed offers hope to all those who
suffer from these often deadly disorders. For years, author
Jennifer Schaefer lived with both anorexia and bulimia. She
credits her successful recovery to the technique she
learned from her psychologist, Thom Rutledge. This groundbreaking book illustrates Rutledge's technique.
As in the author's case, readers are encouraged to think of
an eating disorder as if it were a distinct being with a
personality of its own. Further, they are encouraged to
treat the disorder as a relationship rather than as a
condition. Schaefer named her eating disorder Ed; her
recovery involved "breaking up" with Ed * Shares the points of view of both patient and therapist
in this approach to treatment
* Helps people see the disease as a relationship from which
they can distance themselves
* Techniques to defeat negative thoughts that plague eating
disorder patients
