Doing What Works

An Integrative System for the Treatment of Eating Disorders from
Diagnosis to Recovery

I’m a nutritionist who specializes in treating people with eating disorders. I’ve just finished reading Abigail Natenshon’s book, Doing What Works, and I feel compelled to tell you what a truly wonderful resource it is. It’s the most thorough and intelligent treatment of the subject that I’ve ever read and yet it’s written in a warm and accessible manner.

Eating disorders are often misunderstood and treatment remains a mystery for many professionals treating them. Every professional working with the eating disorder population needs to read this book. I can easily imagine this book becoming part of the curriculum in colleges, graduate schools and medical schools and then serving as the main resource for the entire professional treatment team . . . . it’s that good. On behalf of my fellow eating disorder nutritionists, thank you for making it available.
