The short book is appropriate for parents, older teens, adults with eating disorders, General Practitioners, school/University Nurses and Pastoral staff. It is derived from a typical first session delivered at the outset of a treatment programme. The content has been used successfully in parent training group/s offered by the author and his team in an NHS provision and been found to be useful by participants. Similarly the content has been received positively during GP training programmes or professional development offered to Nurses working in school settings.

The book complements and adds value to self-help resources, Family Based Therapy (FBT) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E) treatment manuals. The topics cover the essential first step of prevention and treatment, i.e. 'psychoeducation' relating to Anorexia Nervosa. This includes effects of starvation on body physiology, hormones, bone density, and metabolism but in a unique, easy to understand manner.

Anorexia is a disabling and a potentially fatal illness. The condition tends to present most commonly during teenage years, a time when most young people would be studying in higher secondary. The school curriculum is full of information that could help young people develop an understanding of the body physiology and the adverse impacts on it from anorexia. The topics learned in school across various subjects, biology, physics, chemistry, and art - offer us a distinctive way of making sense of the skewed thinking process and behaviours associated with eating disorders. Appreciating this can help prevent or overcome disordered eating and thinking in relation to their body shape, size, and weight.

Imparting the right knowledge and advise early could prevent progression of the ailment. All too often, young people are given the message of 'all is well' if they passed the - appear well, talk & walk 'test' and have blood investigations within normal range. We know from research that these early opportunities are crucial in stopping the illness from becoming entrenched.

It is hoped that this initial effort is iterative and the current edition evolves through reader feedback to expand key concepts as well as the breadth of content.
