• guidance about what to expect and look for in the assessment and treatment process;
• emphasis on the critical role of psychotherapy and family therapy in recovery;
• explanation of how anorexia and bulimia differ in their origins and manifestations;
• information on males with eating disorders and how they are similar to and different from female patients;

• up-to-date readings, Internet sites, and professional organizations in the United States and in Europe.
