Using fictitious dialogues between counselors and their clients, in addition to counselors and their supervisors, Bryant-Jefferies demonstrates the person-centered approach to treating women
with eating disorders. He discusses the theory behind this approach, as well as Rogers' stages of psychological change. The accounts, which follow the sessions of two fictional clients
suffering from binge-eating and being underweight, include feelings and thoughts of those in the dialogue and comments on the process. The book is aimed at trainees, counselors, and women with
eating disorders, their friends and families. Bryant-Jefferies, a counselor and therapist at the Central and North West London Mental Health NHS Trust, is the author of several other books
using the person-centered approach. The book is published by Radcliffe Publishing, UK; US distribution is by BookMasters. Annotation 穢2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
