Professional healthcare providers often seek our guidance in diagnosing early intervention possibilities and targeting treatment options.
Our Assessments serve as a guide to the appropriate treatment approach. Once an Assessment is completed, we provide a blueprint plan for treatment. In the event that our team is not the best fit for continued targeted treatment, we will connect you, your patients, and families to skilled treatment resources.
We’ve been fortunate to have been at the forefront of the intersection of eating disorders and obesity for our entire careers. Oxford Press gave us the opportunity to share our thoughts on how to push both fields further. We’d love your feedback on our latest effort: “The New Food Fight”
The New Food Fight
Eat this, not that. Enjoy all foods in moderation. Love yourself. Lose weight. These are just a few of the contradictory messages many of us face every day. No wonder we’ve never felt more confused about what to eat, how our bodies “should” look, and what it means to be “healthy.”
Through personal narratives, clinical examples, extant research, as well as expert and stakeholder insights, The New Food Fight offers an incisive guide to the complex and increasingly polarized fields of eating disorders and weight management. Written with both expertise and empathy, the authors unpack common myths, address misinformation, and provide compelling recommendations to unite two fields that, as it turns out, may be more alike than they are different.
A must-read for anyone who has grappled with body image concerns, deliberated over what to eat, or found themselves torn between self-acceptance and wanting to change their body.
This insightful, wise, reasoned, and compassionate book brings light where heat has been the rule. The eating disorders and obesity fields, important potential allies, have been at odds, but need not be. The authors guide us in brilliant ways to that promised place."
