Review

‘This is an important book. It deals in a detailed, well-informed and approachable way with difficult issues. It offers much-needed help to health care workers who want to communicate sensitively with cancer patients. Enlivened by vignettes which illustrate each point, it is wise, humane and practical. I commend it strongly to everyone who needs to understand and talk about cancer to those who have the disease.’ Miles Little, Director, Centre for Values, Ethics and the Law in Medicine, University of Sydney <!--end-->

‘I welcome this book which should become the standard text for undergraduates and postgraduates in the humanization of modern medicine. At last we have two texts that can stand side by side, Communication in Cancer Care and C: Because Cowards Get CancerToo [by John Diamond], the heads and tails of the humane practice of oncology.’ Michael Baum, Emeritus Professor of Surgery and Visiting Professor of Medical Humanities, University College London

From the Back Cover

This practical and concise book aims to assist health professionals and the general reader alike to understand the impact of cancer and those it affects. It provides information about how to support patients through the cancer journey by paying careful attention to their concerns and how to handle them. The book clearly describes the psychological processes that may occur when someone learns they have cancer, including their emotional reaction. It describes in detail the skills that can be used to manage situations such as breaking bad news. Case material is used throughout to illustrate the situations typically encountered by health professionals. Tips are given to help people learn the skills themselves and successfully integrate them into their practice. The book provides an invaluable resource for anyone who has contact with people with cancer, including health and other helping professionals and the general reader.

Research suggests that anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders, whilst not prevalent in the population, have the highest mortality rate of all psychological problems. The development of effective treatment programs is therefore an important priority for health care professionals. This flexible book has been designed for use by therapists as part of a programme when working with young people with eating disorders. The aim is to help young people understand more about their own experience, and alongside guidance ofr therapists it includes a complete workbook for use by the young persons themselves. This presents tasks ranging from reflective thinking to drawing to promote engagement with difficulties as a first step to overcoming them.

Hunger for Understanding: A Workbook for helping young people to understand and overcome anorexia nervosa

Wiley publishing house has over the years published several good books on eating disorders and especially anorexia nervosa. Alison Eivors, a clinical psychologist working in mental health services in Leicester, and Sophie Nesbitt, also a clinical psychologist, have produced a wonderful workbook as a therapeutic tool for work with young people referred with eating disorders.
"Hunger for understanding" should be used by mental health professionals working with adolescents (11-16 years old as the target group) with anorexia nervosa as one of the toolboxes in the intervention and treatment. All the resources are available on the Wiley website ([...]) and can be used in clinical sessions.
This book has four sections to explain the workbook: The purpose, psychological interventions, therapeutic challenges and discussion of the contents of the workbook, which fills the first 32 pages. The workbook in itself is in eleven sections with many work tasks for the adolescent to perform.
This is an important tool for the therapist and not a book for the patient to read alone, but rather to work together through the intervention process.
