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.
