Behind Psychological Eating Disorders

About the Book.

Over the past years, psychological eating disorders have increased drastically. As we enter the new millennium we believe that Anorexia, Bulimia and Psychological Obese will increase drastically and reach further epidemic levels . New research has indicated that children as young as five have become extremely weight conscious throughout western cultured countries and therefore the age of onset of Psychological Eating Disorders has increased in children as young as eight - a frightening thought.
Over the past nine years our group Director Ron Heymann has personally interviewed and assisted over four hundred sufferers, and eight hundred family members towards their recovery. In 1992 he started the Anorexia and Bulimia Family support group and affiliated the group to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders in Illinois - U.S.A. and two years later was appointed state coordinator.

Ron personally co-ordinates weekly support group meetings that are well attended and has contributed towards many that have recovered from this disorder. Over the past few years, he has become active internationally and has assisted both family members and sufferers throughout the world.
Many books have been written on Anorexia and Bulimia, by those that treat the illness and those that have suffered from the illness. Although these books are informative, many do not contain specific information on how you can confront the eating disorder and handle specific situations. The symptoms of the illness effects emotions of those close to the person suffering from the disorder and often chaotic situations do arise. These chaotic situations compound and cause further distress.

Sadly, to-date many believe that psychological eating disorders is primarily a food issue and often labeled as being self inflicted. Health insurance limits funding for treatment, and those that suffer from the illness often abuse that funding. At what point does treatment begin?

Ron, with his vast knowledge of this complicated illness and his assistant Bev Kaplan have now compiled and written a handbook. The handbook provides detailed information on all types of topics associated with Psychological Eating Disorders. From the onset of the illness, up to recovery. The Handbook is also suitable for school libraries as well as projects for primary and tertiary educational institutions.
