Riassunto

Eating disorders are among the most dangerous--and misunderstood--adolescent mental health problems. When your teenager shows signs of an eating disorder, where can you turn? Now in a revised and updated third edition, this trusted resource helps you separate fact from myth and play an active role in your child's recovery. Treatment experts James Lock and Daniel Le Grange spell out what parents need to know about anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). They guide you step by step to find the right care, monitor your teen's eating and exercise habits, manage family meals, end weight-related power struggles, and team successfully with professionals. The revised third edition incorporates key research and treatment advances, new vignettes, and expanded coverage of ARFID. When families work together to get the most out of treatment and prevent relapse, eating disorders can be beat--this book is your essential roadmap.
