Step-by-step - the proven path to recovery from bulimia nervosa

Stringent dieting and making yourself vomit after overeating are common features of bulimia nervosa, as are depression, anxiety, and feelings of worthlessness. This illness causes great distress to sufferers and those who care about them, but in recent years there have been real advances in treatment.

In the fourth edition of this sympathetic and highly acclaimed guide, you will find a clear explanation of the disorder and the serious health issues that can result from it, as well as learning about the treatments available today. Most importantly, Overcoming Bulimia Nervosa 4th Edition offers a step-by-step programme for those who want to tackle their difficulties.

This programme has been found in independent clinical research to be of substantial benefit to people with bulimia nervosa (Psychological Medicine, 2005). This book will also give friends and family a much clearer understanding of the illness and its treatment.

OVERCOMING self-help guides use clinically proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical.

This book is recommended by the national Reading Well scheme for England and Wales, delivered by the Reading Agency and the Society of Chief Librarians with funding from Arts Council England and Wellcome.

About the Author

Peter Cooper is emeritus professor of psychology at the University of Reading. His academic research has focused on two main areas: the nature and treatment of disorders of eating; and the impact of psychological problems on parenting and child development. In recent years he has directed most of his professional attention to ways of supporting parents living in conditions of adversity - especially in parts of Africa - as a means of improving child developmental outcomes. For ten years, while a lecturer at the University of Cambridge, he ran an NHS clinic for people with bulimia nervosa. Arising from this experience he wrote a book - essentially a self-help manual - entitled Overcoming Binge-eating and Bulimia Nervosa. The current book is an edited update of this original work. In 2016, in recognition of his contribution to academic and professional psychology, he was made a fellow of the British Academy.

Patricia Graham is an honorary professor (Strathclyde University), consultant clinical psychologist and director of psychological services in NHS Lanarkshire, Scotland. She has nearly thirty years' experience working in the field of adult mental health and is a practitioner, supervisor and trainer for different modalities of psychological therapy. She holds degrees in psychology (BSc Hons), clinical psychology (DClinPsychol) and Scots law (LLB). Professor Graham is chartered with the British Psychological Society (BPS) as an associate fellow and is the joint chief national assessor for the profession of psychology for the UK, on behalf of the BPS and ACP (Association of Clinical Psychologists) and lead national assessor for Scotland. She is an expert witness and currently is an advisor and mentor to Insight Works Training, operated by Kings View Chambers (medical defence barristers). Patricia published Overcoming Anorexia Nervosa (2019) with the late Professor Chris Freeman, and is the series editor and co-author for the Cambridge Guides to Psychological Therapies.
