Details
An indispensable clinical resource, this groundbreaking book is the first treatment manual to focus specifically on adolescent bulimia nervosa. The authors draw on their proven approach to treating anorexia nervosa in the family context and adapt it to the unique needs of this related yet distinct clinical population. Evidence-based strategies are presented for helping the whole family collaborate to bring dysfunctional eating behaviors under control, while also addressing co-occurring psychological problems and parent-child relationship conflicts. Highly practical, the book shows exactly how to carry out this time-limited therapy and what to do when problems arise. Special features include annotated session transcripts and answers to frequently asked questions.
“This treatment is supported by a recently completed randomized controlled study, making it one of the few evidence-based treatments for adolescent BN....The book represents a very important addition to the eating disorder field, since it is the first evidence-based treatment provided to clinicians for the care of adolescents with BN. This is without a doubt a must-read for any clinician working with eating disorders. For those who do
not work with eating disorders but do treat children and adolescents, the book is still recommended since it shows an innovative treatment approach that empowers the parents to take charge of their child's mental disorder.”
