Taking the theme of an iceberg, the author uses this to help visualise this complex subject. ‘An eating disorder is like an iceberg’ - with an iceberg the part that is above the water surface, and visible to all, being small in comparison to that which lies, ominously, below. In the same way, with an eating disorder ‘activity’ under the surface and pain ‘creeping’ out forms what we see as an eating disorder. This book will look at the symptoms, the reasons the help needed. Chapters are: Tip of the iceberg, Below the water surface, Shattered ice – anorexia, Covered cracks – bulimia, Filled voids - compulsive eating, Turning round, Thawing out, Changing views, Facing the sunset.
