Hope, Help, & Healing For Eating Disorders - A New Approach to Treating Anorexia, Bulimia, and Overeating
by Dr. Gregory L. Jantz with Ann McMurray

Dr. Jantz has developed a program that treats the emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual aspects of eating problems. This approach can be used by those with food disorders and their families and friends. Each chapter contains questions and activities to lead readers through progressive steps to healing.

• Discover 5 often-overlooked nutritional keys to recovery
• Find out how to let go of anger, fear, and guilt
• Obtain tools for creating a binge-free life
• Learn how not to be a victim of others
• Understand the role of emotional and verbal abuse
• Learn about 7 keys to help you create healthy relationships

This book discusses a New Approach to treating those that suffer with eating disorders. Anybody that is suffering from an eating disorder needs to have unconditional love, acceptance, and forgiveness. They also need to learn how to forgive themselves, and forgive others that may have abused or harmed them. We do not believe force will change those suffering from eating disorders. Force does not work. It can drive the eating disorder deeper and deeper.

Instead of force, we at The Center, provide an atmosphere of acceptance where change can take place. We look beyond the eating disorder and reach into the person's heart and see them as a person who needs love and acceptance. Hope, Help, & Healing for Eating Disorders was written with this philosophy.
