TRISHA GURA discusses & signs "Lying in Weight" June 25, 2007

In this groundbreaking new book, science journalist Trisha Gura, Ph.D., explodes the myth that those who suffer from eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, are primarily teenage girls. In reality, these diseases linger from adolescence or emerge anew in the lives of adult women in ways that we are only starting to recognize.

Drawing on her own experience with anorexia, the most up-to-date research, and extensive interviews with clinicians and sufferers, Gura addresses these concerns and concludes that eating disorders, at least some vestige of them, tend to lie dormant throughout a woman's life. Lying in Weight is a startling, timely, and imperative investigation of eating disorders "all grown up."
