Summary
Inside Anorexia describes the experiences and challenges faced by teenage girls with anorexia nervosa and their families. Structured around real-life accounts, the book shows the diverse forms that anorexia takes and provides valuable insights into the lived experience of girls with anorexia and their families. It demonstrates that the unique stories of individuals and their families need to be the starting point for understanding anorexia. Text boxes in each story provide an overview of current knowledge about anorexia across a range of disciplines and present new findings from the authors' own research into anorexia nervosa.
