About When Your Child Has An Eating Disorder: A
Product Description When Your Child has an Eating Disorder is the first hands-on workbook to help parents successfully intervene when they suspect their child has an eating disorder. This step-by-step guide is filled with self-tests, questions and answers, journaling and role playing exercises, and practical resources that give parents the insight they need to understand eating disorders and their treatment, recognize symptoms in their child, and work with their child toward recovery. This excellent and effective resource is one therapists can feel confident about recommending to patients. Review “…written in a confident and approachable style, avoiding jargon, and the text is well broken up… a valuable book..” ( www.edr.org.uk, 23 November 2004) Review "I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the spectrum of eating disorders. Parents, teachers, doctors, and therapists will find just what they need in Abigail Natenshon's comprehensive exploration of this most puzzling disorder." ―Mary Ann Kirk, licensed clinical professional counselor From the Author Never before available to parents, When Your Child Has an Eating Disorder provides information based on the assumption that parents are NOT to blame for their child's eating disorder, but that they DO have a powerful role to play as mentors to their child's recovery. In my experience, I have found that for the most part, parents want to do what is best for their child; they deserve to be taught how by their child's treating professionals.

If parents are not part of the solution, they are in danger of becoming part of the problem. When eating disorders are detected early and treated properly, they are curable in 80% of cases. Recovered individuals, no longer victims of food and fear, cease to be victims of circumstance, of self, and of others. "Eating disorder recovery allows both parents and child to take back control of their lives and destinies." From the Inside Flap Work together toward recovery "When Your Child Has an Eating Disorder provides parents with hope as well as direction to aid their eating disordered child." —Vivian Hanson Meehan, president and founder, National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders "This book provides parents with invaluable information about eating disorders and concrete steps to take in pursuing the best treatment option for their child. It is a much needed endorsement of the positive role families can play in treatment." —Daniel le Grange, director, Eating Disorders Program, The University of Chicago "Practical, informed, comprehensive, and highly readable. This is a book that will be equally valuable to parents, patients, and clinicians." —Craig Johnson, director, Eating Disorders Program, Laureate Psychiatric Hospital, Tulsa "The wonderful workbook format will help families gain a deeper and more personal understanding of the illness and assist them in developing commonsense interventions." —Patricia Santucci, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry, Loyola Stritch School of Medicine and founding member, Academy for Eating Disorders Dear Parent, Eating disorders know no boundaries. With indiscriminate cruelty they can crush friendships, splinter families, and ravage health. I have watched my husband, and then my daughter, in the grips of this puzzling affliction. Like a small ship lost on a thundering sea, a person who is witness to a family member's eating disorder can be overcome by fear, discouragement, or grie
