Bulimia Nervosa

In Bulimia Nervosa, James E. Mitchell provides a concise overview of the topic, a review of the literature available, his interpretation of this information, and recommendations based on his extensive clinical experience.  He concludes that although significant questions about treatment techniques, comorbidity, and the biology of bulimia nervosa remain, practitioners and their clients can be assured about the prospects  for successful treatment.

“Many people assisted the writing of the book...but the skillful editing makes it like a story unfolding, with a tantalizing piece of information at each chapter end to spur the reader on.  There is minimal use of very technical language, which makes the book ideal for nonmedical students or for anybody who needs to read about these illnesses.”  -Choice, November, 1985
