Lorri & Taryn Benson and
Distorted
A Mother-Daughter Perspective on Eating Disorders
Health Communications Inc., March 2008
BOTH SIDES NOW is a book designed to lend support to the millions of families of women with eating disorders. In each chapter, Lorri will offer the mother’s perspective on what was happening, and Taryn will offer the daughter’s point of view – as you might imagine, the two often see the same set of events very differently. By presenting both sides of the story, Lorri and Taryn hope to lend support and encouragement to others, both by providing insight and by sharing the full range of their experiences.
“Distorted is a powerful, penetrating look inside the world of disturbed eating and its far-reaching effects on the family. This jointly crafted account provides multiple windows into the experience of disordered eating, highlighting both the tragic and triumphant dimensions of attempted recovery.”—Greg J. Neimeyer, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Florida
