The Secret Language of Eating Disorders by Peggy Claude-Pierre

Much has been written and said about Peggy Claude-Pierre. I do not deify her, and I deeply respect the need for medical treatment as a part of anorexia treatment, however, I refuse to ignore the enormous difference she made in the lives of many women who could find no hope or help in standard delivery healthcare, including myself. Upon reading The Secret Language of Eating Disorders in the middle of my recovery journey, I felt understood for the very first time. The myths and mistaken perspectives that she fought are still pervasive and problematic in today’s treatment  of anorexia.
