reviewed Am I Still Visible: A Womans Triumph over Anorexia Nervosa. on + 418 more book reviews
This book is interesting in the fact that the author fell victim to anorexia nervosa as an adult rather than as a teenager, & before anorexia nervosa became a household word.
The author's writing is rather flat however, & leaves much to be desired. The last chapter of the book could prove helpful to the families of anorectics as it stresses that just getting the sufferer to eat will not going to solve the problem. So many "specialists" at the time were just concerned with getting the patients to eat & gain weight that they did not deal with the underlying issues that caused the disorder.
