"For more than a decade Christopher Fairburn has been at the forefront of the effort by researchers and clinicians to understand the nature and causes of binge eating. He has made a huge contribution to this field, not least because he is responsible for having developed ad evaluated the most successful method of treatment for binge eating problems. In this fascinating book he not only bridges the reader up-to-date with the latest knowledge, but also provides a structured program of practical strategies for recovery which will be of invaluable assistance to anyone with binge eating problems." - Peter Cooper, University of Cambridge, UK
