Title: Superficial treatment of old-news material
Review: It is testimony to the number of people suffering from eating disorders in America that a book this shallow could find a publisher. However, although dieting has been well-established as a problem, especially for women - this book offers no new insight or guidance for those seeking relief from obsession with eating, starving, or overeating. There are platitudes about "enjoying the moment", but the author never addresses core issues in anything other than a superficial manner, and it seems criminal that with the VAST majority of case histories being those of women, that feminist thought is never touched upon. This is the worst-type of self-help book - full of ephemeral platitudes and vague "assurances" (and a PhD credential!) to encourage the reader to trust the author - but nothing solid to build on. The author may have found her way out from diet-hell, but she didn't leave any breadcrumbs for the rest of us!!
