"Every parent undergoing FBT will want to read this book. It covers the most challenging scenarios illustrated by real examples from families including how to separate the illness from your child, how to stay aligned with your refeeding partner, and how to handle big emotions such as self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Examples are provided for all types of eating disorders. This comprehensive resource is a valuable follow up to 'Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder', and provides more in-depth solutions to some of the most common pitfalls encountered during FBT. Clinicians who provide FBT will also find this book extremely helpful."

"Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is the best available, quickest acting intervention for eating disorders in adolescents. Whilst FBT may not work for everyone, an effective 'dose' of FBT as soon as possible after diagnosis confers the best prognosis. This book, based on over 20 years of clinical research experience of delivering and studying FBT, addresses the doubts, anxieties and challenges parents commonly experience when implementing FBT. Written by experts, full of empathy and understanding, and underpinned by science, this book is a 'call to arms' for parents and clinicians about why trying and persisting with FBT is the best first line strategy in combatting these potentially devastating disorders. Real world examples, in the form of brief vignettes, illustrate each of the topics across the full range of eating disorder diagnoses: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. I recommend this book as essential reading for all parents of adolescents newly diagnosed with an eating disorder."
