This is the
newest edition of the two most famous books from the Women's Therapy Centre,
the one that got us all started back in the early 80's. At that time, this
kind of thinking was revolutionary. The book inspired such well known authors
as Geneen Roth, Mary Pipher, Jane Hirschmann and many others. The very
notion that dieting doesn't work and that society's expectations of women's
bodies was what needed to be challenged was first introduced here. Susie
gets right to the heart of eating problems with techniques to tune into
physical hunger rather than dieting and trying to ignore it. It is
as timely now as it ever was, after 20 years of being put to the
test by women and therapists all over the world.

You could just read this for its inspiration
and poetry if it weren't also so wise and true.
