The most effective treatment for eating disorders is family-based, and parents & caregivers play an essential role. Yet most struggle to know what to do and how to do it. This book guides you through each stage of your child's recovery.

The practical and emotional strategies in every chapter come from research, from families, and from therapists worldwide.

Some of the topics include: 

• make meals work in spite of your child's resistance
• deal with distress, inflexibility, exercise compulsion, bingeing and purging
• what to say and what not to say in difficult situations
• actively support your child all the way to recovery and prevent relapse
• recognize the treatments that work and the ones that don't
• grow your own emotional resources
