Each year, thousands of young men and women show up at college unprepared for many of the challenges and experiences they will encounter for the next four years of their lives. And while parents, friends and teachers will always have advice to offer on the dangers of drugs & alcohol, tips for good hygiene and better work habits, how to do laundry and the importance of quickly making friends with someone who has a car, one vital area is often overlooked. In this book, Dr. Susan Albers brings her unique approach to college students, their parents, and college staff. Using the princ

Healthy eating is conscious eating, according to eating disorders specialist Susan Albers. In this book, she introduces concepts of acceptance and awareness of one’s eating behaviors, new exercises steeped in Buddhist practices for healing negative patterns in this area, and a means for restoring tranquility to meals. Albers does not encourage a diet of deprivation, but instead provides a checklist for the wide variety of mindless eating approaches, from eating when not hungry to faddish diets to food rituals. Practical exercises grounded in cognitive behavioral research reveal the force

"Leonard Woolf has described how, when Virginia Woolf’s distress was at its most acute, "for weeks almost at every meal one had to sit, often for an hour or more, trying to induce her to eat a few mouthfuls." Even when she was relatively relaxed about food, he said, "It was extraordinarily difficult to get her to eat enough to keep her strong and well." In Ravenous Identity, Allie Glenny attempts to understand what underlay this distress for Virginia Woolf as an individual - an understanding which she arrives at by examining the way in which food and eating are symbolically expressed and

Browsing through books and TV channels, we find people pre-occupied with eating, cooking and competing with chefs. Eating and food in today’s media have become a form of entertainment and art. A survey of literary history and culture shows to what extent eating used to be closely related to all areas of human life, to religion, eroticism and even to death. In this volume, early modern ideas of feasting, banqueting and culinary pleasures are juxtaposed with post-18th- and 19th-century concepts in which the intake of food is increasingly subjected to moral, theological and economic reserva

The Parent’s Guide to Eating Disorders shows that effective solutions begin at home and cost little more than a healthy investment of time, effort, and love. Based on exciting new research, it differs from similar books in several key ways. Instead of concentrating on the grim, expensive hospital stays of patients with severe disorders, the authors focus on the family, teaching parents how to examine and understand their family’s approach to food and body-image issues and its effect their child’s behavior. Parents learn to identify an eating disorder early, to establish healthy attit
