Eating Disorders: The Ultimate Teen Guide de Jessica R. Greene

Eating Disorders: The Ultimate Teen Guide: It Happened to Me

Autor Jessica R. Greene
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 aug 2014 – vârsta până la 18 ani
It has been estimated that as many as 15 million people suffer or will suffer from anorexia and bulimia at some point in their lives. Additional statistics suggest that 25 million more suffer from binge eating and other related behaviors. The overwhelming majority of individuals who suffer from eating disorders are girls and young women between the ages of 12 and 25, but young males are not immune to these addictions-and the statistics grow more alarming every year. Eating disorders affect not only those who suffer from them, but family members and friends who feel powerless to help.

In Eating Disorders: The Ultimate Teen Guide, Jessica R. Greene offers hope for the young women and men who have engaged in these self-destructive urges. In this book, Greene examines the causes and varieties of teen eating disorders and offers advice on how to overcome them. The author looks at how eating disorders are defined, how common they are, and how they are tied into behavioral addictions. In addition to explaining how and why certain people suffer from these compulsions, this book looks at:

Intended to serve as a comprehensive guide, this book also includes a list of resources for teens and their parents. Drawing on input from experts in the field, as well as real-life stories, Eating Disorders: The Ultimate Teen Guide will help young adults who are struggling with this devastating affliction.

Recenzii

There are many texts that deal with eating disorders, but this is one of the more comprehensive ones. The author not only covers the basics (symptoms, consequences, treatment) of anorexia and bulimia; she also addresses lesser-known types of disordered eating, such as binge eating disorder and unclassified eating disorders. There are chapters that thoroughly discuss the possible causes of eating disorders and relate them to addiction. Most interesting are the sections that focus on the history of starving and on those who knowingly have starved themselves, be it for piety, politics, or entertainment, and the parts that highlight society's ever-changing ideals of beauty, femininity, and thinness. The book notes some correlation between eating disorders and society's near-impossible body image ideals. Each chapter begins with thought-provoking questions to be addressed in the text and ends with a copious section of multimedia resources that can be used for further exploration. Readers will appreciate the many personal accounts from those who have dealt with eating disorders, as well as opinions from experts in the field. Contact information for these individuals is included, too, such as Twitter handles, email addresses, and websites, further enhancing students' ability to delve deeper in the subject. There are a few photos throughout, along with some satisfactory text boxes. The text can be somewhat dry at times and some of the statistics complicated, but overall this is a strong resource for teens doing research that goes beyond basic report writing.
Eating Disorders: The Ultimate Teen Guide is designed with the high school age student in mind who wants a broad overview of the physical and emotional issues associated with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and other eating disorders. While the teenage years are a time of great emotional and psychological change, there are many issues that may arise for the teen dealing with eating disorders. The work focuses on the psychological issues of young adults with eating disorders, the anxieties they have around food, the origins of extreme eating, the physical effects of eating disorders, and interventions and treatments. Information in this work is presented through the personal stories of teens and young adults who have lived through the experience of eating disorders; most of the stories focus on teenagers who have experienced eating disorders first-hand. The volume includes discussion questions at the end of each chapter to help teens verbalize their questions, up-to-date statistics, and first-hand advice from professionals. Teens who are experiencing issues with eating disorders first-hand, either themselves or with a parent or friend, will find this guide useful. The personal experiences shared in this book will appeal to this target audience and could be useful for students this age researching this topic.
