Full Description
A vitally important guide to supporting a loved one with an eating disorder
If you just discovered that your child (of any age) has an eating disorder, time is critical. Eating disorders can prove fatal and don't discriminate. For parents and caregivers, the situation can be overwhelming because misinformation is everywhere, and most doctors lack the specialized training needed to guide them.
That's where My Child Has an Eating Disorder comes in. This clear, expert-packed resource helps parents quickly understand the situation, ask the right questions, and take effective steps toward their child's recovery--without wasting precious time searching for reliable answers. Written by Alli Spotts-De Lazzer, an esteemed Certified Eating Disorders Specialist and licensed therapist, and Jenny Mullaney, a live-in Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach, both with personal experiences of recovery, this book covers common concerns, misconceptions and myths, treatment options and obstacles, and realistic expectations for healing.
Incorporating advice from other leading experts along with relevant research--and featuring the lived experiences of other parents, caregivers, and kids who have been through the recovery journey--My Child Has an Eating Disorder offers the practical, concrete information and strategies parents and caregivers need, giving them the confidence to navigate the challenging path to recovery with love and hope.
