Having read this book, I feel that it has a lot of potential to be very helpful for
many people - including those experiencing BDD, those who know people that
are affected by BDD and even people who currently have no association with the
condition at all.
This is because, with the simple layout and the images, the book is a very easy
read which gives extensive insight into the disorder.
