Summary: Proceed With Extreme Caution
Review: There is evidence that bingeing disorders can be caused by the taking of antidepressant medications (Seratonin Re-uptake Inhibitors, like Effexor, Prozac, etc.), because of the metabolic and neurological derangement these chemicals can produce. The effect can last for years after the client stops taking the drug. For people in this situation, psychological remedies of any kind are ineffective, and Roth's "eat what you want" method can be downright dangerous. If you have been prescribed antidepressant medication, and your compulsive eating began AFTER you began taking it, consider that this might be the cause. Proceed into theories like Roth's with extreme caution. To her credit, though, this book is a great read. It goes quickly and is full of interesting and often touching anecdotes. Her tone is gentle and compassionate.

Summary: READ ABOUT GENEEN'S PERSONAL LIFE- NO THANKS!
Review: This book is little more than a synopsis of Geneen Roth's life. I felt like I was reading her therapy files! Check it out from the library and read the first chapter- you'll decide not to waste the money

Summary: A savior for my soul....
Review: This book is truly the bible of all people who struggle with food and body image. Geneen Roth does use personal examples in this book but that is the best way to connect with someone. I definitely prefer receiving advice from someone who I know has had similar feelings and issues than by someone who simply preaches. Keep this book by your bedside. It will teach you something new about yourself each time you pick it up.

Summary: This book is fantastic.
Review: This book will ultimately touch you. It is for people who have used unhealthy coping mechanisms that haven't quite seemed to work over the years. It deals with the frustration and pain this can cause. I highly recommend this book for people both in the fields of social work and psychology, and the layman who uniquely identifies.
