"Eating disorders are complex and there is no one simple treatment plan for such a complex disorder. Rather than go where many authors have gone before, Hanson questions the current gold standard of treatment for eating disorders. The rate of recidivism for this disease is enormous and as professionals we must be open to integrating new ideas of treating these suffering patients. Lori Hanson, author of It Started with Pop tarts, really understands that to treat an eating disorder one must take a holistic approach. This is a lively, invaluable book where the author tells all and through her struggles--- you laugh, learn, and are encouraged to heal." - Dr. F. C. Cox, Psychologist
