Like Becky Henry, I am an "unwilling expert" on eatingdisorders. Her amazing new book, Just Tell Her To Stop: Family Stories ofEating Disorders, captures the wisdom of over 40 families. It is an invaluableguide for understanding and helping someone who is suffering from an eatingdisorder, especially for those family members feeling alone, scared and in needof support and guidance. This book tells our families' "real" stories!

Perfect selection of insight and information, May 10, 2011
 This review is from: Just Tell Her To Stop - Family Stories of Eating Disorders (Paperback) <http://www.amazon.com/Just-Tell-Her-Stop-Disorders/dp/0984548904/ref=cm_aya_orig_subj>
I HIGHLY recommend this book! As the parent of someone who has had an eating disorder for many years, I've read my share of books on this topic. One of my frustrations is how to tell those I'm close to what it's like to go through this experience. There have been many books with great stuff, but I was always afraid that my loved ones would think that our experience was exactly the same or assume we couldn't possibly be going through the horrors described by a particular writer. This book solves that frustration since each story in here had something in common with our story and the volume of very challenging accounts puts to rest the notion that our situation couldn't really be that bad.

This is the perfect arrangement for a book on this topic--it shares so many different experiences, which alone provides comfort for those managing a disease which fosters so much isolation and shares resources, many of which I was not familiar with - even after all these years. It gives accounts from the perspective of mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents, those who have recovered and those still struggling, whether they be male or female.

I have found this disease to be emotionally and physically exhausting and finding so much of what I want in one book was a miracle. I just hope Becky Henry doesn't stop with this one.

I have picked it up just to reread parts, as well as for reference reasons many times. By the way, when I finished it, I immediately ordered three more copies, because my copy isn't ever leaving my house. "Robin"

This is the most down to earth book i have ever read.I read it over the weekend and at the end of it i thought to myself,this person wrote this book for me.

At last i could identify with someone, there was someone in that book who had walked the same road as me,someone who had recovered....no miraculous cure, but lots of soothing balm, lots of encouragement and every time i feel isolated i pick up this brilliant book. ~ ZYLA

"Excellent book for everyone to read! Gives insight as to how most of the preconceived notions about eating disorders are wrong and that each case is different. Great respect from me to you Becky Henry!"

“I had the opportunity to read your book. It is really terrific and so well written.

I have bought so many books, but what I liked about yours was that it offered something different. It's like no other book that I read. Typically, we have the 'clinical books' and then the books written by the sufferers detailing their experiences. But the experiences, stories and tips from the parents were wonderful. You were able to weave your research with the experiences and stories. Your research information was not overwhelming - just enough. The stories were great!

Again, I loved all the tips, which are so very useful to parents and other family members and the variety of stories.

Congratulations on doing an amazing job with this book! This is a wonderful resource for parents and loved ones of people with eating disorders.
 
Thank you for writing it. I am honored to know you and am grateful for your wonderful book - which is a gift to parents.”

As a retired college counselor and parent of a daughter with an eating disorder, I was greatly moved by Becky Henry’s book, Just Tell Her To Stop.  Becky has really done her homework, collecting dozens of stories from parents and patients. This is an excellent resource for parents, patients, health and mental health professionals.

Becky’s book should be required reading for all allied health and medical students as well. This devastating disease can kill, therefore more needs to be learned by the public and by those who design and provide treatment to make our efforts more successful. 

This book is for people who find themselves involved in the downward spiral of anorexia, bulimia, compulsive overeating, or anything in between.  We can all learn from the riveting stories told in Just Tell Her To Stop. ~ Christian Author, Motivational Speaker
