Helping Your Child Overcome an Eating Disorder is comprehensive, practical, and filled with scientifically based strategies for parents of children with bulimia or anorexia, written by the directors of the Yale Center for Eating and Weight Disorders. Puberty and adolescence are difficult enough; adding an eating disorder makes it doubly difficult for the parent who may already feel overwhelmed. This guide shows parents how to talk with their children about this touchy subject, access the latest cognitive-behavioral techniques, deal with eating and exercise in the home, find a good therapist, and take charge of ensuring a child s recovery. The book explores issues like depression and anxiety and includes questionnaires, checklists for ongoing evaluation, and charts for monitoring and developing positive eating patterns. Each chapter includes case studies and a Creating Solutions section. Publishers Weekly This thorough "introductory resource" for parents of children with eating disorders comes from therapists and researchers at the Yale Center for Eating and Weight Disorders, and its frank language, efficient summary of assorted studies, multiple anecdotes and straightforward worksheets will help them both understand their children's issues and create an environment conducive to recovery. In well-organized chapters, the authors present warning signs of eating disorders, offer guidance in understanding their roots, summarize different theories on why they develop and give tips on everything from choosing a therapist (or a particular type of therapy) to shopping for groceries. Communication is key, they maintain, and though parents may not find the "Topics for Family Discussions" easy to broach (dinner table talk with a teenager can be awkward enough, even when one doesn't need to discuss why "our society value[s] physical appearance and thinness so much"), such topics will open lines of dialogue and help parents stop assigning blame on either their kids or themselves. For parents who feel powerless in the face of their child's eating issues, this reassuring guide will show them how to play an active role in helping their child recover healthy eating habits.
