In Binge No More, eating disorder specialist Dr. Joyce Nash provides all the information, encouragement, and guidance readers need to transform their relationship with food.

Therapists and family members concerned about a loved one’s eating disorder will also find this book a valuable resource.

• Assess and change binge behavior patterns
• Confront the negative thoughts that fuel binge eating
• Identity and disarm triggers that set off out-of-control eating
