In order for me to explain anorexia nervosa, I must first let you know that it is not what it appears to be. For the person with the illness, anorexia seems to be one thing. For loved ones it seems to be another thing entirely. As an evolutionary psychologist who treats patients with anorexia I have a different perspective. My view of this illness is one that can offer you both hope and dignity. I want to show you how guilt, blame, and shame have no place in this illness. In fact, patients with anorexia nervosa are the descendants of the heroic Joan of Arc. And loved ones, armed with modern knowledge, can help save Joan from the fire.
