<P>Based on clinical observations over 30 years, this book explores how state change from symbolic to concrete thinking may be a key event&nbsp;that precedes an eating disorder episode. The book introduces this theory, and offers clinicians working with these challenging clients an entirely new model for treatment: internal language enhancement therapy (ILET). This easily teachable therapy is explored throughout the book with case studies and detailed descriptions of therapeutic techniques. </P>
