This course provides an overview of previous physiological and psychological theories of eating disorders - specifically anorexia and bulimia - and introduces an important new theory which unites the roles of body and mind in the maintenance and progression of these illnesses. This updated approach, firmly based in over 15 years' research by the textbook's authors, leads to criticism of some previous practices and to many detailed pointers to good practice for the helping professional who has eating-disordered clients.

This course is NOT a substitute for counselling or psychotherapy, or for medical care, and people with psychological problems should seek appropriate treatment with a counsellor or psychotherapist. People with medical problems should consult their medical practitioner.

This course is NOT in itself a qualification in counselling or psychotherapy, though it may be used in conjunction with such qualifications to signify additional specialist learning.
