Reviews

"""In the literature on psychotherapy, it is a rare author who can motivate us to take up the burden of emotion in a region of experience like eating, where many of us would simply prefer to be unthinkingly happy, but because Charles Stewart does so in a way that makes difficult emotions actually easier to hold, reading his work has the paradoxical effect of actually lightening our load."" - John Beebe, from the Foreword."
