Liu's book, Gaining: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders, immediately grabbed our attention because it focuses on life after a person overcomes an eating disorder. It incorporates theory, evidence, and examples that are meant to provide knowledge to individuals who may suffer from eating disorders and also help them feel that they are not alone. The families of individuals who suffer from eating disorders may also benefit [from new insight into] the psychological worlds(thoughts, fears, beliefs, worries) of their loved ones. One of the strongest contributions of this book is that clinicians may learn about the lives of individuals after they overcome their eating
disorder.
