Excerpts from clients' testimonials:
"Only those who have experienced difficulties with swallowing can imagine the everyday frustration (not to mention the hunger!) that such problems can cause. The ability to overcome these problems has led to a radical improvement in my life, for the
capacity to nourish and enjoy myself and interact socially with others is absolutely crucial. Ms. Yossem is truly a talented healer and her positive effect on my own everyday life has been incalculable.
- Dorothy S.

skills. I felt that Florence was just as invested in our success as I was. Michelle was not a case, she was a person."
- Michelle's mother

Review

Practical suggestions, clear illustrations, useful case studies. Pictures and techniques often repetitious. Format of clinical application is realistic representatino of feeding treatment (long-term) -- liked how therapist broke sessions into weeks and presented intervention techniques & principles. Descriptions of home programs with Rationals were very useful.
