Full Description
Now in a revised and expanded third edition reflecting key advances in research and clinical practice, this manual presents the leading empirically supported treatment for adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN). Strategies and procedures for family-based treatment are described in session-by-session detail. The book gives practitioners a clear framework for mobilizing parents to promote their child's weight restoration and healthy eating; involving siblings; improving parent-child relationships; and getting adolescent development back on track. Integrating state-of-the-art knowledge about medical and psychological aspects of AN, the manual is complete with sample dialogues, troubleshooting tips, and a chapter-length case example.
