About this listen

Part one of Three Years With A Monster comes to you in real time as Dennis scribbled it down in his journal and recapped the events every few months in blog form. You will experience the heartbreaking daily struggle as it unfolds.

Eating disorders are nearly impossible to understand unless you come face-to-face with them. This book brings you so close you can smell the monster’s breath. The Wilkinsons were directed to use family-based therapy and dialectical behavioural therapy. Helpful explanations and observations of these tools are contained in this section.

Part two is the fruit of a frantic, desperate attempt to figure out what was happening and why. Dennis’ research uncovered three external factors which proliferate eating disorders: Diet culture, the beauty industry, and dangerous religious perspectives.

Part three contains small offerings of hope and practical help for those caught up in the slash-and-burn, take-no-prisoners world of eating disorders. Finally, the book ends with an encouraging postscript from father and daughter.
