About this work

Description

This documentary looks at the work of leading child psychologist Dr. Gillian Harris as she tries to help children with severe food phobias. 12-year-old Rachel is terrified of food and eats chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As she is nearing her teenage years she longs to be able to eat normally. 3-year-old Aaron has never eaten solid food and lives on only formula milk which causes him constant diarrhea. However his mother is reluctant to give him solid food and is clearly part of the problem. 2-year-old Bobby has never eaten a hot meal, lives on yoghurt and is at a very low weight. His mum is worried for his health. All the children meet Dr. Harris who helps both them and the parents to understand what's going on and how the children can gradually learn to overcome their fear of food.
