Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Bulimia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterised by recurrent episodes of binge-eating followed by inappropriate compensatory behaviour. It affects 1-2% of the population, the majority of cases occurring in women between the ages of 16 and 35. This book provides a comprehensive and detailed review of the key psychological aspects of the disorder and places particular emphasis on cognitive considerations.
The coverage includes the key features of Bulimia Nervosa, associated problems, psychological theories and different treatment approaches. There is special focus on cognitive factors with case examples used to illustrate the two most articulated cognitive treatments for the disorder. Emerging topics, such as imagery and metacognition are covered, as are service issues, such as stepped care and practice guidelines.
Drawing on research and theory from cognitive and non-clinical areas of psychology, The Psychology of Bulimia Nervosa provides an original and challenging perspective on this debilitating condition. It questions assumptions about cognitive theory of Bulimia Nervosa and the role of standard cognitive therapy in treating the problem, suggests novel ideas, and a revised treatment and outlines areas for further research activity.
This book never ceased to delight me as I turned page after page. It was hard to identify any limitations with this book, as not only is it comprehensive, it is so well organized and presented that the reader can keep much of its contents in mind . . . This truly is an invaluable resource text as well as a clinical guide backed up by current knowledge and research in Bulimia Nervosa . . . Overall, this book is a 'gem' and 'must read' for anyone working with BN or related disorders. It is an open-minded book written by an expert in the field who seems to truly care about advancing our knowledge rather than promoting one theory at the expense of valuable information from others. As a consequence this further adds weight to a coherent and well thought out cognitive model for BN.
