Early intervention with family-based treatment can greatly reduce the severity of anorexia nervosa in children and adolescents. The best outcome is for those whose illness is intervened within six months. Ten families are the book's voice, and they lift the lid on what living with anorexia is really like. Parents describe their frustrations in seeking help for their child and sufferers describe this illness that slips into the brain and becomes part of one's self. The families believe prompt recognition and intervention with family-based treatment greatly enhances recovery. Family-based treatment offers hope by bringing back fundamental family principles – empowering parents and supporting them and their children in their growth and development. Professor le Grange describes the history of anorexia nervosa, its effect on the sufferer and the family, the development of the Maudsley Approach and ongoing research. The book lists illness symptoms, strategies for parents and carers to follow, and where to go for treatment and support. This book will appeal to families everywhere who find themselves caught up in the anorexic nightmare.

Something in our world is changing. In ten years time 60% of us will be over 55. The retirement age is likely to move up to 70; modern medicine ensures that most of us will live well in to our 80s and most of us will choose to do some work, paid or voluntary, while we are still physically able. Yet older people have, as yet, no role in modern society. Old age is regarded as an invonvenience, something to be shunned and set apart from our daily lives.In this frank, often funny and always compelling disquisition on ageing, Irma Kurtz sets out to chart the territory through her own and others' experiences. Along the way she meets a diverse group of people whose insights into their own lives have much to offer a younger generation - from a 90-year-old weekly columnist and a vicar still working in his mid-70s to The Good Granny Guide's Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall and 'London's Rudest Landlord', Normal Balon of the celebrated Coach and Horses. Kurtz is a fearless investigator of the art of growing old - its pleasures and its griefs - carrying with her the only tool that sharpens with age: lifelong curiosity.
