Anorexia nervosa is a condition in which sufferers diet continually and starve themselves. They may also use laxatives, vomiting or exercise excessively in order to control weight. Anorexia usually occurs in young women, starting in their teens, and it is estimated that about 2 per cent of all young women suffer from it. Bulimia is an eating disorder which is also on the rise among young people. They use the binge/purge cycle to extreme in their attempts to control their weight. This is a comprehensive, positive and practical guide to detecting the early signs of eating disorders and then curing them. Written with years of experience and expertise, it encourages parents to understand the illness, overcome their fears and take control of the situation, whether that means enforcing a strict meal plan or taking the decision to seek professional help. The book includes early signs to look out for; the possible effects of the illness, both physical and psychological; the treatments available and, most importantly, the plan, which helps parents to take positive action and really make a difference to their child's life.
Alexandra gives inspiration and hope to those trying to beat depression and her common-sense tangible suggestions could make a difference to many people's lives.

—— LA Family MagazineOur twins were up constantly at night until we found The Sleepeasy Solution. Thank you for giving us the sleep we'd been dreaming of
—— Marcia Cross, ActorIntimate, yet well-researched..comedic and poignant, her many-faceted memoir is rendered in high-definition as Heller recounts meals, travels, parties, arguments, lies, and the serious illnesses that afflicted her and her parents. Writing with wit, compassion, aplomb, and no little wonder at what her father wrought and her mother endured and how this legacy shaped her, Heller presents an involving and invaluable work of personal and cultural history.
—— BooklistHeller's family memoir brims with warm reflections right from the opening chapters... An affectionate family scrapbook crafted with a bittersweet blend of humor and pathos
—— Kirkus ReviewsErica Heller to me is like a Carrie Fisher on the East Coast. She is as authentic as they come
—— Richard Lewis, comedian, actor, authorErica Heller has a story to tell and I for one am eager to see it in print. I think this is going to be one hell(er) of a memoir
—— Christopher Buckley, author of Losing Mum and PupThe New York of the period leaps off the page
—— Emma Hagestadt , IndependentHeller's domestic side is evoked with painful detail by his daughter, Erica, in her well written, occasionally harrowing memoir, Yossarian Slept Here
—— Sunday TimesLikeable memoir...just as Daugherty is blind to the limitations of Heller's work so he appears resistant to personal criticism of Heller or rebuke. Just One Catch is no hagiography but, of these two biographical accounts on Yossarian Slept Here gives us the gruff, arrogant big shot; the smug cocky fellow who sometimes showed up to friend's cocktail parties for the sheer fun of insulting them
—— Leo Robson , Financial Times
