Beck, a licensed therapist with extensive experience treating
eating disorders, takes a multifaceted approach to helping those
with clinical eating problems overcome them. The book barely
mentions food per se, but rather views eating disorders as
brain-generated conditions, thus potentially brain-cured. A variety
of approaches are suggested--one for each of the title's 21 days.
Among the solutions offered are a 12-step program modified from
Alcoholics Anonymous, journaling, finding a support group,
developing spiritual growth through prayer and meditation, creative
visualization, and undertaking personal energy work. An appendix
includes a listing of various 12-step groups, online resources for
information on eating disorders as well as eating disorder
treatment centers, and, finally, an extensive list of recommended
reading. VERDICT This book is not recommended for dieters but
rather those with clinical eating disorders ready to undertake a
great deal of work to seek treatment and wellness. Best for
specialized health collections and public libraries with large
health collections. --Olga B. Wise, Library Journal-- "Reviews"
