It gives me great pleasure to provide this endorsement of the MANTRA workbook. Working with people who are simultaneously embracing and battling anorexia nervosa is one of the hardest types of therapy I have encountered in thirty years of practice as a clinical psychologist across a number of clinical settings and conditions. When I first came across the emerging MANTRA approach in 2003, it was like a breath of fresh and invigorating air.

It is certainly my clinical experience with this workbook that people with anorexia nervosa find it engaging, challenging, and promoting self-efficacy and optimism for a future that involves a healthier and richer life that has expanded well beyond the confines of control over food and weight. It should certainly be on every clinician's shelf if they working with this group of people.
