Joy 9 year follow up

Joy came to me when she was referred by a Health Maintenance Organisation; she was 35 years old at the time, and she had had Bulimia for 20 years.

This video begins with a re-enactment of our second session. She had been discharged from a psychiatric hospital after taking a large overdose. This session deals with the essential issues of eating disorder and her other problems.

This video is a re-enactment of an actual session with Dr Fishman, shared with the permission of the client. Names have been changed.
