MY BODY, MY ENEMY: My 13 year battle with anorexia nervosa: My Thirteen Year Battle with Anorexia Nervosa

This ebook edition of a classic, bestselling autobiography completes Claire Beeken€s powerful story, taking the reader on an inspirational journey to the present day.

Claire Beeken first went to hospital with an eating disorder aged 10. For over a decade she locked herself into a vicious cycle of starvation, laxative abuse, binge-eating and vomiting, attempted suicide and periods in a psychiatric hospital.

This graphically honest, deeply-affecting, and darkly funny account of Claire€s illness tells the story of an ordinary girl from Luton living life with rare intensity.

Since publication of the previous issue, Claire Beeken€s groundbreaking techniques and work with sufferers of eating disorders has come to be internationally recognised. Claire€s charity Caraline is now internationally acclaimed and the help-line that began life in her parents€ front-room has become an established, and enormously successful, care and counselling centre.

The updated material tells Claire€s personal story €“ her feelings and her achievements since the early days of Caraline and also includes further inspirational €˜case histories€ of girls who have recovered from bulimia and anorexia with counselling.
