About this item
by Tamie Gangloff (Author)
Chronic Illness and Eating Disorders addresses the intersection of eating disorders and the importance of treatment of clients with eating disorders and chronic illness, specific interventions, and resilience in a body that continues to change.
This book explores the intricacies of those with chronic illness, and how it can lead to disordered eating. Chapters cover lifelong and acquired illnesses and conditions, visible and invisible disabilities, sports injuries, chronic pain, grief, and more. The author examines how each of these conditions can affect appetite, body image, and overall perception of food and health. Treatments such as EMDR and CBT are discussed alongside mindful approaches such as body neutrality.
Therapists, dietitians, and other medical professionals will gain a deep understanding of body image disturbance and how that is different than body image distortion.
