Revised and Expanded Edition

This updated self-help guide to overcoming eating disorders covers family ties, food addiction, abuse, anger, guilt, pride, control and other underlying issues. With passion and honesty, Dr. Jantz integrates the emotional, relational, physical and spiritual aspects of recovery into a practical plan for healing and growth.

Eating disorders affect the whole person, yet treatments often focus on emotional issues alone. In this powerful book for individuals who suffer from eating disorders and those who love them, Dr. Gregg Jantz fills in the gaps left by traditional treatment programs, tackling not only the emotional, but also the crucial and all-too-often ignored relational, physical, and spiritual dimensions of healing. Outlining a comprehensive, holistic, and practical approach, Hope, Help, and Healing for Eating Disorders brings spiritual, relational, and physical elements back into the healing process.
