THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF EATING DISORDERS

A premier expert in the field of eating disorders, Claude-Pierre reveals her extensive knowledge of the subject. Her two daughters and hundreds of patients have taught her much about these conniving diseases. She describes the deep torment of the acute patient. Giving hope for nearly complete recovery, she also describes preventive measures parents can take. Unfortunately, the tape has abrupt endings on each side. Claude-Pierre has a Canadian accent with clipped vowels. Sounding as if she is reading a script, her unemotional monotone does not give resonance to the painful subject matter.
