Reviews

"""Dr. Keel is unique in that she is responsible, more than anyone I can think of, for single-handedly placing a new disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), that condition being Purging Disorder. She is determined to delineate Purging Disorder in scholarly and scientific terms to her colleagues and in accessible terms to an informed general audience. Her book is a key contribution to the eating disorders field, yet goes much farther, in that it is an exegesis on the intersection of mind, body, and culture."" -- Thomas Joiner, PhD, The Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Florida State University ""Professor Pamela Keel is the world's foremost expert on purging disorder. In The Void Inside, she provides a riveting account of two decades of scientific discovery that have shaped our understanding of an eating disorder that affects millions. This book is an absolute must-read for professionals, patients, and carers."" -- Jennifer J. Thomas, PhD, Co-Director, Eating Disorders Clinical and Research Program, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School ""This book, written by the world's leading authority, provides a comprehensive summary of Purging Disorder. It combines a thorough discussion of the its characteristics with detailed descriptions of individuals who have struggled with it. This definitive volume on Purging Disorder is a critical and welcome resource for patients, practitioners, and researchers."" -- B. Timothy Walsh, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Columbia University ""An accessible, approachable, and comprehensive introduction to purging disorder and its treatment."" -- APA Division 44 Newsletter"
