Eating disorders & therapy; Coping with personal problems

Are you wondering what is the best way to support your adolescent through treatment for anorexia nervosa and atypical anorexia nervosa?

Anorexia Nervosa is a devastating illness with limited treatment response and significant biopsychosocial consequences for the developing adolescent. To date, treatment has generally focused on achieving weight restoration, and while physical recovery is essential, there has been a lack of attention to psychological recovery. Parents, in their wisdom and concern for their child, have desperately asked for greater individual support for their adolescent as well as increased participation during treatment.

This skills-based manual accompanies Adolescent & Parent Treatment (APT), a treatment that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of the illness. This manual covers and guides parents in their role of supporting both physical and psychological recovery. It addresses all aspects of the illness and how renourishment must be adapted to their child's personality traits and specific needs.

This book clearly explains why it is so difficult for their adolescent to eat; it provides clear examples how to speak to their adolescent; as well as understanding the necessity of reducing fear and increasing connection with their child by utilizing the space between meals. The book also covers the importance of parental attunement together with understanding their own emotional response to their child. The manual outlines all the anorexic behaviors and obstacles that will impede treatment and recovery.

The aim of this manual is to support and resource parents commencing treatment for adolescent anorexia nervosa. It offers clear practical advice and empowers parents to confront anything the illness throws at them. It is also an invaluable resource for clinicians and will help them guide their families through both the physical and psychological aspects of treatment.
