Eating Disorders (Annotated ed)

Guns and violence, divorce, and drugs are among the many issues that touch the lives of so many of today's children. "Understanding Issues anticipates the questions children have about these uncomfortable topics and examines them in language children can understand.

The three major eating disorders--binge eating, bulimia, and anorexia--are examined here openly, frankly, and in language suitable for young readers.

Discussions of the symptoms, causes, and treatments of these problems are supplemented by the actual words of young people who have experienced them.
