I was honored to special order this awesome book. Most of all I was honored to meet and spend five days with Cynthia during one of her workshops in July 1998 which was held in the Diamond Bar. Cythnia gave me hope and willingness to believe in myself. With my Lord Savior Jesus Christ and special people like Cynthia I have been able to over come my eating disorder. I am not saying that there are not rough days, but I find inspiration in the book Monster Within. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an eating disorder or the family member of a eating disorder sufferer. Thank you again Cynthia for this precious and well appreciated book.

More than 20 million Americans will suffer an episode of depression or mania during their lifetimes, and one in five American families will feel its impact directly. For these families, Overcoming Depression is the essential resource. Since its first publication in 1987, it has become the book most often recommended by doctors to their depressed patients because it clearly and sympathetically presents state-of-the-art medical information and the solid, practical advice that patients and their families need to participate actively in diagnosis and treatment. Now featuring all-new data on the latest drugs, research, treatment, and medical insurance, it also includes a frank discussion of psychiatric therapy in the era of managed care.

AT LAST! A BOOK TO HELP YOU BREAK OUT OF THE DIET/BINGE CYCLE--AND LOSE WEIGHT NATURALLY.

"Will empower all women to stop believing that our bodies are the problems, dieting the solution."

Harriet Lerner, Ph.D.
Author of The Dance of Anger

In this revolutionary new book, bestselling authors Carol Munter and Jane Hirschmann explore the myriad reasons why women cling to diets despite overwhelming evidence that diets don't work. In fact, diets turn us into compulsive eaters who are obsessed with food and weight.

Munter and Hirschmann call this syndrome "Bad Body Fever" and demonstrate how "bad body thoughts" are clues to our emotional lives. They explore the difficulties women encounter replacing dieting with demand feeding. And finally, they teach us how to think about our problems rather than eat about them--so that food can resume its proper place in our lives.

"Many women will find in these pages exactly what they need: determined, optimistic, and resourceful coaches, pausing at the right moments to acknowledge the difficulty of change, then passionately urging them to press on."
