Trauma, Dissociation, And Impulse Dyscontrol In Eating Disorders

Book cites new studies or otherwise offers fresh insights. I've been looking for myself in these books esp. this past year because I don't know what happened to me, and/or what happened to me as a result of what happened to me. This book makes some points that were new to me - that IGNORING a report of child sexual abuse is more likely to lead to borderline personality disorder. I already knew of the link between abuse & BPD - ignoring report being linked is a whole nuther level. Also, just a little statement in the book linking nightmares to anxiety - duh! But so much more helpful than all my googling of (adult) nightmares which netted me nothing except "that's whatchyer thinkin' 'bout" - yeah, thanks, so helpful. Again, this takes it to another level - even if you can't solve all the things you're having nightmares about, maybe you can better deal with the anxiety, but do be careful of your meds. The part about family's negative reaction to therapy and effect for client was so CLEAR and so supportive, I made a breakthrough (on a LONG-standing issue with nary a clue, in therapy for 30 years - when do I get my gold watch?!) just reading it.
