Hope and Healing
In her book, Dr. Rabinor weaves a beautiful tapestry of hope using the unique stories of her patients with eating disorders. Her spirituality shines through in this wonderful book, while her openness about her own human shortcomings and doubts creates an endearing image of a very caring therapist.
Whatever your path, I can gaurantee you will benefit from reading this book. It brings a true message of hope and lets us know that healing from eating disorders takes a lot of work, but with committment it is possible.
Bravo!

A book that is both informative and artful
Judy Rabinor has the rare gift of educating through beautifully crafted stories. Each chapter could stand alone as a beautifully written short story, and the cumulative effect grows, so that by the book's conclusion, the reader has an ever-deepening understanding of this most difficult issue. I have recomended this book to patients who suffer from eating disorders, their parents, mates and friends. They thank me for the recommendation, and tell me that not only is each chapter filled with the realities that they have faced, but also that their understanding of this profound problem is further deepened. Dr. Rabinor's honesty about not only her patients, but also her own experience of the therapeutic process, including the pain some of the cases have induced in her, was especialy welcome. This is a book that belongs on the shelf of anyone who has been touched by this problem, and any therapist who treats it.
