Review: I’m now 70 and was born with ARFID. I still have it though it has lessened a little over the years. I can’t eat any fruit never have done. The smell the sound and visual. The sight of an apple stump makes me ill. I’ve never eaten an egg. The list goes on and on. I was hospitalised when very young with malnutrition for refusing food. As a child I was labelled fussy and accused of being awkward etc. Now at last it’s come to light and been recognised. Please be gentle with children who have this it’s not their fault.

Review: Though this book provides basic education on ARFID and a plan for re-feeding, it does not address the psychological component to the illness or interventions to address psychological barriers to food/eating aversions. The interventions focus on psychoeducation and creating a plan for re-introducing food, however it leads one to believe that it is as simple as that. From my experience as a therapist and eating disorder specialist, this is typically more complex. Also, from a therapist's point of view, it is typically the dietitian creating meal plans and addressing the nutritional component (Focus of this book), while the therapist addresses the psychological component, which again, this book does not offer other than providing psychoeducation on nutrition. I would not recommend for therapists.
