Vandereycken, Walter, and Beaumont, Pierre J.V. Treating Eating Disorders-Ethical, Legal, and Personal Issues. Washington Square: New York UP, 1998.

Treatment of eating disorders can often be unsuccessful, so I thought that this would be a good book. It gives some background on treating eating disorders, both successful and unsuccessful methods.

Sandy Stewart Christian. Working with Groups to Explore Food and Body Connections. Deluth: Whole Person Associates Inc, 1996

This is a book of exercise/activities to use in a group setting. The exercises focus on discovering issues related with eating issues, body image, and attitudes.(both cultural and personal) This book would be beneficial because it would help me develop more of a sense of the thinking that goes on in the minds of people with eating disorders.

Hof, Sonja van't. Anorexia nervosa: The historical and cultural specificity: Fallacious theories and tenacious 'facts' (Book). Lisse: Swets and Zeitlinger 1994
