Summary: Perfect Combo of Information and Emotion
Comment: Too often, books written by professionals on mentall illnesses, particularly eating disorders, are harsh and technical. One could easily get lost in the psychiatric jargon and cold symptomology. However, Zerbe shines in this volume that welcomes patients, professionals, and laypersons alike. Her compassion for her troubled clients is obvious, as is her enlightened knowledge of her subject. I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to gain a better understanding of this growing epidemic.

Rating: 5
Summary: The Body Betrayed
Comment: The Body Betrayed is an outstanding book! Kathryn J. Zerbe writes with much knowledge and compassion about the many complicated aspects of the different disorders, and devotes a lot of time to the discussion of dually-diagnosed patients. She gives careful analysis to the varied influences that effect the onset of these illnesses, and shares some of the real life experiences from her treatment facility. This is a very detailed, but readable book for patients, family, friends, clinicians, and anyone wanting to know more about eating disorders.

Rating: 5
Summary: Compelling, intelligent and complex
Comment: This book might not be your best first introduction to eating disorders, but if you are somewhat familiar with the subject, Kathryn J. Zerbe adds tons of new insights.

Especially helpful are the sections on eating disorders accompanied by other psychiatric problems, and the sections on the relationships between the mother/daughter and the father/daughter in connection to developing eating disorders.

The writing is on a fairly high and intelligent level, but Zerbe never becomes caught up in psycho mumbo-jumbo that is beyond the scope of a lay person.
