Books - Eating Disorders

Eating Disorders vary markedly from people who have an unhealthy relationship with food to people who are struggling with Anorexia. If you are struggling with Anorexia, please see our Anorexia information page. The books recommended here are for educational purposes only and do not constitute therapy. If your relationship with food is starting to impair your health, please seek professional help immediately.
