Allen Carr’s innovative Easyway method—which he discovered after his own 100-cigarette-a-day habit nearly drove him to despair—has helped millions kick smoking without feeling anxious and deprived. That’s because he helps smokers discover the psychological reasons behind their dependency, explains in detail how to handle the withdrawal symptoms, shows them how to avoid situations when temptation might become too strong, and enables them to stay smoke-free. Carr discusses such issues as nicotine addiction; the social “brainwashing” that encourages smoking; the false belief that a cigarette relieves stress; the role boredom plays in sabotaging efforts to stop; and the main reasons for failure. With this proven program, smokers will be throwing away their packs for good.
Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder are all associated with significant emotional and relational stress. They can have serious physical complications. Most cases of anorexia and bulimia nervosa remain undiagnosed, and many diagnosed cases are inappropriately treated. It is therefore essential to reduce the gap between research evidence and clinical experience in order to improve diagnosis and treatment of these mental disorders.
This latest volume examines the recurrent social and biological problem of eating disorders and provides:
* Coverage of all aspects of eating disorders, including diagnosis, epidemiology and pharmacological treatment
* Contributions from internationally acclaimed experts
* An unbiased and reliable reference point

Its origins lie in a visit by the Emperor Hadrian to Britain in AD 122
when he ordered the wall to be built to mark the northern boundary of
his Empire and "to separate the Romans from the Barbarian"'.
