I am slowly transitioning to a raw/vegan diet myself. I love Living on Live Food by Alisa Cohen, and Ani's Raw Food Kitchen by Ani Phyo to get you started.
As far as a raw/vegan diet helping people with eating disorders, I don't think any diet can help you in that respect. Having a healthy relationship with food and your body is the only way to help with that issue.
There is a disorder being called Orthorexia, in which people take eating healthy to extremes. They cut so many things out of their diet, and end up making themselves sick. I suggest getting into a support group for your particular eating disorder and corresponding with other health concious people to make sure you are not taking things to extremes.
I have struggled with my weight and have done unhealthy things to my body to lose weight, but I am trying to have a better outllook when it comes to food. I try to focus on putting nutritious food into my body versus what fat, calories, etc in them. When you are eating a raw/vegan diet, you are always putting good things into your body so you are worried less about adverse things happening to your body.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
