Welcome to this advocacy site, designed to educate and mentor patients, parents, and professionals to use themselves knowledgably and with confidence as advocates for the recovery of these most lethal of all mental health disorders….eating disorders.  The tools and strategies you will find here WORK...they are the product of 45 years of my professional experience treating eating disordered individuals and their families.   Eating disorders are fully curable in 80 percent of cases when recognized and treated in an effective and timely manner. With recovery, individuals get their lives back; parents and families get their loved one back; treating professionals save lives and improve life quality.
