Give food a chance

A thought-provoking view on eating disorders.

ISBN: 978193563801-8

Give food a chance arises from the clinical experience of Dr Julie O’Toole, MD, MPH, over more than a decade, of treatment for eating disorders in children and young adults. Dr O’Toole rejects former theories that claim such disorders are caused by poor parenting, issues of control, rejection of adulthood, or society’s oppression of women.

The book is written for any parents or professionals who care for children with eating disorders.
