Product Description
This practical manual offers a step-by-step guide to the treatment of anorexia nervosa in adolescents. Unique in its focus on mobilizing parents and siblings as a resource in treatment, the approach is ideal for short-term treatment and has demonstrated effectiveness in controlled clinical trials. Intervention is divided into three clearly defined phases. Using such innovative methods as a family meal, the clinician first learns strategies for helping families gain immediate control over the adolescent's eating behaviors. Once the patient accepts parental demands to eat, related family problems are addressed in the second phase. The third and final phase of treatment aims toward getting adolescent development back on track and establishing family relationships that do not revolve around the eating disorder. Featuring detailed guidelines for conducting each family session, the manual is illustrated with extensive clinical transcripts and vignettes.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Family-based treatment is one of the few demonstrably effective interventions for anorexia nervosa. This treatment manual clearly explains the development of this approach and, even more important, provides a detailed description of how it can be implemented. Lock and his colleagues have provided practitioners with a most useful tool to assist their patients. This book will be required reading for all who treat youngsters with anorexia nervosa."--B. Timothy Walsh, MD, Ruane Professor of Psychiatry, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons; Director, Eating Disorders Research Unit, New York State Psychiatric Institute
"During the past decade, progress in the mental health sciences has been reflected in the increasing refinement of empirically based treatment techniques that can be manualized for general application. This book is a fine example of this type of progress, which has been exciting to witness. Lock and his coauthors are to be congratulated for putting together such an excellent and much-needed treatment manual. The authors manage to compress detailed instruction and rich, relevant case material into a powerful volume that delights by its erudition and persuasiveness. Highly recommended for all who are serious about bringing their therapeutic skills to the cutting edge."--Hans Steiner, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Stanford University School of Medicine
"I highly recommend it for any therapist who has struggled with the difficult task of trying to keep a family focused on the arduous task of re-nourishing their adolescent to health. It gives a step by step approach to the therapist which will help her keep the focus on the initial presenting problem, and not become side-tracked with secondary albeit compelling problems, as the illness of anorexia will invariably do to both therapist and family alike."--Canadian Child Psychiatry Review
"The theoretical underpinning of the Maudsley approach is the view that the adolescent is embedded in the family and that the parents are critical to the ultimate success in treatment....In summary, this manual on family therapy for adolescents with anorexia nervosa with a short duration of illness enables recovery without admission to hospital....This book--the first specific manualized approach available--is highly recommended for all professionals engaged in work with adolescents suffering from anorexia nervosa."--Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
"This work was designed to be most valuable to psychotherapists, and it succeeds well in this mission."--Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics

Customer Reviews
An Excellent Resource for Clinicians!
This is an excellent book for clinicians treating teens struggling with Anorexia. This model taps into the power of the family to successfully fight this horrible disorder. I also highly recommend Help Your Teenager Beat An Eating Disorder, a well-written guide for the clinician and an outstanding resource for parents!!
Great concepts
Important new wrinkles on tx. Opens up new possibilities.
Surprisingly for a professional manual, a page-turner.
For Professionals I'm Afraid!
This treatment manual has an amazingly simple structure for such a complex problem. Keeping to the symptoms at hand, starting with what is attainable and streamlining the treatment are key-words in this book. Although purchased at Amazon, it actually is something for the professional setting though. Excellent book, something to recommend to therapists involved in the treatment of AN.
