The Eating Disorder News Network Seeks To Improve Awareness And Treatment
Mary, a seasoned therapist who has treated patients with eating disorders concedes that, “basically I have been using the same approach and techniques for over twenty years.” She further states that patient recovery takes a long and unpredictable course.
