A unique new approach to treating eating disorders

Eight million women in the United States suffer from anorexia nervosa and/or bulimia. For these women, the road to recovery is a rocky one. Many succumb to their eating disorders. Life Without Ed offers hope to all those who suffer from these often deadly disorders. For years, author Jennifer Schaefer lived with both anorexia and bulimia. She credits her successful recovery to the technique she learned from her psychologist, Thom Rutledge.

This groundbreaking book illustrates Rutledge`s technique. As in the author`s case, readers are encouraged to think of an eating disorder as if it were a distinct being with a personality of its own. Further, they are encouraged to treat the disorder as a relationship rather than as a condition. Schaefer named her eating disorder Ed; her recovery involved "breaking up" with Ed

  • Shares the points of view of both patient and therapist in this approach to treatment
  • Helps people see the disease as a relationship from which they can distance themselves
  • Techniques to defeat negative thoughts that plague eating disorder patients

Prescriptive, supportive, and inspirational, Life Without Ed shows readers how they too can overcome their eating disorders.

  • A great book to help someone who has an ED

    Life without Ed is a great book for someone who is thinking about seeking help for there Eating Disorder. It is also a great stepping stone for someone who is not sure that they are ready to recover yet. This book talks about one persons recovery and how it wasn't always easy but that she was able to move on and how you can too. There maybe a few things in the book that don't apply to you but don't skip over those chapters read it all to help you get a better understanding of the whole process. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an eating disorder.

  • CONCERNED MOM

    This book was very helpful and gave great insight on the struggles that are faced...Although, the most important message is that she kept getting back up after each fall. I thought that it gave great hope in spite of such difficult struggles.

  • Life Without Ed

    This is a book packed with great information for anyone fighting an eating disorder. My daughter is anorexic, and she has read this book over and over, making notes in the margins. She has also recommended it to other friends she knows that are fighting an eating disorder. It is also good for other people to read it so they understand the battle that people with eating disorders fight every day.
