Your Dieting Daughter…Is She Dying for Attention? by Carolyn Costin
Costin is an eating disorders therapist, and the founder of the Monte Nido group of treatment centers in California. I’ve seen her speak at conferences before, and she has a hugely impressive clinical background (and a personal history with disordered eating), plus a compassionate manner that makes her an amazing source for information and healing. This book is very comprehensive, with descriptions of all the eating disorders, symptoms to look for, nutrition help, and even information on the basics of some of the most popular diets out there. A great resource, especially for beginners in this area.
