  This book presents a new approach to anorexia nervosa and bulimia, providing a full explanatory understanding for these enigmatic conditions. The author demonstrates that eating disorders and many other obsessively pursued behaviours are addictions to endorphins, hormones produced by the brain. Treatment derived from this understanding involves learning about the addictive process, cognitive-behavioural strategies for withdrawal and psychotherapy for the underlying depression and anxiety.
