Synopsis

Simona Giordano presents the first full philosophical study of ethical issues in the treatment of anorexia and bulimia nervosa.

Illustrated with many case-studies, Understanding Eating Disorders is an essential tool for anyone working with sufferers of these much misunderstood conditions, and for all those ethicists, lawyers, and medical practitioners engaged with the widely relevant issues they raise.
