Penelope Camplings book On the brink with patients stories from her life in psychiatry starts at the end of the asylum years, when many of us, as she says, were optimistic about the development of community care.

In research examining eating disorder symptoms among women aged 45 to 61, body dissatisfaction was cited as a key risk factor. 1 I have seen this firsthand.
