Critique de School Library Journal

YA-- An approach to eating disorders that covers their medical causes, along with providing information about education, long-term behavior modification, and drug treatment. Marx discusses the complex subjects of anorexia and bulimia in a relaxed, informative style. Information on other lesser-known disorders is also included. He intersperses personal stories with the facts to better illustrate the problems patients face and the types of treatment prescribed. He presents the latest health information on control and management techniques for diet as well as a list of questions to be answered in determining if a serious disorder is present. The appendix has an up-to-date bibliography of current materials and a list of addresses and telephone numbers for national organizations. A detailed, thorough, and accessible resource. --Pat Royal, Crossland High School, Camp Springs, MD (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
