This book is a clear and practical text inviting those struggling with an eating disorder, their families and their therapists to work collaboratively. Using personal accounts, stories and poetry, the book describes some of the ways eating disorders are experienced and the ramifications of their presence. It addresses how those working with anorexia/bulimia can help illuminate its deceptions and create other possibilities. One method engages the eating disorder directly through critique, while another promotes disengaging it to create a way of life built on personal values and passions. The authors offer parents and loved ones ways to `team up with insiders`. A mother and father tell their story describing their `slow recognition of a silent intruder`. Confusion, helplessness and devastation make way for the realisation that they and their daughter are working against a common enemy.

The author applies the four drive theory of human behaviour (to acquire, to defend, to comprehend, to bond) to the leadership realm, and explains the history of leadership in political, economic, and symbolic institutions as a result of one of three types of leadership: good leadership, misguided leadership; and evil leadership. This innovative book outlines a framework of human behaviour that can be used to cultivate stellar leadership/leaders which balances the four drives while avoiding negative leadership and leaders who are missing the drive to bond.
