Reviews
The Void Inside provides an accessible introduction to purging disorder, a type of eating disorder in which individuals engage in voluntary, self-induced purging (typically vomiting) after eating but without the binging behavior seen in bulimia nervosa. Written by psychologist Pamela K. Keel, a leading researcher on purging disorder, the book is primarily aimed at individuals with purging disorder but may also provide a useful introduction to the subject for clinicians, family members, and the interested public. * Emily M.
