Product Description
Always harmful and potentially deadly, eating disorders can wreak havoc on families. Unfortunately, the same can often be said of their treatment: blaming parents for the illness, many eating disorder programs exclude parents and widen the rift in an already shattered family. This powerful and controversial book by top researchers James Lock and Daniel le Grange argues that parents are not the culprits but the key to their teen's recovery. Based on new research, Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder shows how parents can break the disorder's control over their child's mind and re-establish normal eating and family relations. The odds for full recovery drop precipitously if treatment is delayed. A radically important wake up call, this book urges parents to act now. |

Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder
My husband and I are faced with helping our child beat an eating disorder. This book describing family-based therapy has helped us help our daughter put on weight. The method described in the book is difficult to do and requires steadfast determination by the parents. It describes the symptoms and the treatments in current use in dealing with the problem. Our daughter was almost 19 when we started the process, and we feel her age makes it more difficult in light of the privacy laws and the determination by the medical community that 18 is the age of an adult. Even with that difficulty, I believe the outcome for her would be terribly difficult if not for the help we received from this book and from our therapist who used the metods described. I strongly recommend the book to those parents who are dealing with younger teenagers, although it is helpful to all parents. This book used in conjunction with a therapist who understands the method is the best approach to dealing with an eating disorder.

From a parent of a child with an eating disorder by E.D. (USA)  3 Stars
June 06, 2009
This is a good book if you want to educate yourself on Anorexia Nervosa and the various types of treatments. The authors fail to go into enough detail about the in hospitalization programs or the residential programs. It would have been helpful to include a list of important questions to ask when touring these facilities. Also, the family based method needed to be much more in depth. What to do when...., where should the family members sit in order to be the most effective, etc.

An Important Read by baw (Jackson, WY USA) 5 Stars
November 23, 2008
Anorexia is a life-threatening disease. It can also cause many long-term health problems. If your child has an eating disorder, it is very important to get professional help, quickly. This book stresses that fact. It is not a self-help book, but it does help one to understand the disease and the long road to recovery. It also includes a list of clinics that specialize in teenage eating disorders.

The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders shows that effective solutions begin at home and cost little more than a healthy investment of time, effort, and love. Based on exciting new research, it differs from similar books in several key ways. Instead of concentrating on the grim, expensive hospital stays of patients with severe disorders, the authors focus on the family, teaching parents how to examine and understand their family’s approach to food and body-image issues and its effect their...
