“Clinically rich and psychodynamically profound....Vast clinical experience and scholarship fill these pages, thus stimulating and expanding the readers conceptual thinking.... Dr. Johnson and his fellow authors address the critical issues of the day....The pleasure I derived from reading this insightful exegesis on eating disorders came both from having my thinking challenged and from having certain of my previously inchoate notions precisely articulated....Thank you, Dr. Johnson, for providing us with such a work.”
