When Your Teen Has an Eating Disorder, livre ebook

“ When Your Teen Has an Eating Disorder is an outstanding resource for parents who are confronted with the various challenges that come their way when their child has an eating disorder. This book provides parents with a ringing endorsement that they are the ones who should take center stage in their child’s treatment, and that it is the parents who ultimately will be instrumental in bringing about recovery for their child. Muhlheim’s depth of experience working with such families shines through in this practical guide of how to make sense of the everyday challenges that a diagnosis of an eating disorder brings to such families. Most important, this book provides parents with a steady dose of practical strategies to employ while engaged in family-based treatment (FBT), and thereby adds a critical resource in this struggle to overcome their child’s illness.” —Daniel Le Grange, PhD , codeveloper of FBT; Benioff UCSF professor in children’s health and eating disorders; director in the department of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco; and coauthor of Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder and Treatment Manual for Anorexia Nervosa “This book fills a necessary gap in helping parents to feel effective and engaged in tackling their child’s eating disorder. The calm, compassionate voice of Lauren Muhlheim describing the challenges and engagement associated with family-based re-nourishment provides a necessary succor for families engaging in FBT.
