It's time to ask the question, "Should therapy be the default recommendation for treatment of eating disorders?" In "The Rabbit Hole: When Eating Disorder Therapy Does Harm," Tabitha Farrar outlines the most common mistakes made by eating disorder therapists, and why these mistakes often lead to a greater severity of disordered behavours in the clients that therapists are supposed to be helping. The intention of this book is not to bash all therapy. The intention of this book is to highlight issues and raise questions. Because if we know better, we can do better. I believe that "Should therapy be the default treatment for eating disorders?" is a question worth asking. And I also believe that only good can be done by critically looking at the field of therapy and exploring the areas where therapists are falling short.
