"Wise, hopeful, funny, and inspiring. Next to Nothing unravels the
mysteries of eating disorder treatment and recovery. Carrie Arnold
makes sense out of the confusion as she guides us along her
personal journey of healing. I wish my family and I could have read
this book during my struggle with anorexia and bulimia. This is a
must-read!"--Jenni Schaefer, author of Life Without Ed: How One
Woman Declared Independence from Her Eating Disorder
and How You Can Too
"In this well-written and readable book, Carrie Arnold guides the
adolescent with an eating disorder through what to expect in the
recovery process using her own often-bumpy recovery as
illustration. Providing tips for everyday survival in the real
world and a broader view to help stay the course to health, her
message is a powerful and encouraging one, made all the more
believable to the adolescent sufferer because she has been there.
Carrie also provides
information on internal thoughts of the eating disorder that can
help parents gain insight into what their adolescent is
experiencing and how they might respond."--Kathleen A. Mammel, MD,
Chief,
Adolescent Pediatrics, William Beaumont Hospital, and Clinical
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Wayne State University
"Humor and stark honesty are Arnold's trademarks. Most writers
uncritically throw in everything that has ever been said of eating
disorders; Arnold pares it down to up-to-date and accessible
science. This book is a wonderful combination of wit and
wisdom."--Laura Collins, author of Eating with Your Anorexic
"This book is an insightful account of one person's struggle with
an eating disorder. It offers a helpful mix of information, ranging
from the personal to the professional. I expect this book will be
helpful to young adults with an eating disorder and their
families."--Daniel le Grange, PhD, Associate Professor of
Psychiatry and Director, Eating Disorders Program at The University
of Chicago
