Anorexia Nervosa: Guidelines for Assessment and Treatment in Primary and Secondary Care" is based on Professor Crisp's long-standing views which came to be known as the "St George's" approach to anorexia nervosa. The book aims to outline in a clear, practical way the minimum intervention necessary within primary and secondary care settings if the psychopathology of this serious and life-threatening illness is first to be identified and then treated with some hope of success.; The approach outlined in the book is an attempt at a time-limited and meaningful intervention in the assessment and care of anorexia nervosa. The approach involves concurrent use by both patient and therapist and also, to some extent, the family of the "self-help" book "Anorexia Nervosa: The Wish to Change" and the "Patient's Log Book". Together, the three books form this clinician's pack. "Anorexia Nervosa: The Wish to Change" and the "Patient's Log Book" are also available separately.
