\ From the Publisher"This book is an important addition to the literature on the treatment of anorexia nervosa. It provides an authoritative and detailed description of the 'Maudsley method,' the leading family-based treatment for adolescents with anorexia nervosa. The book will be an invaluable resource for clinicians for years to come." —Christopher G. Fairburn, DM, FRCPsych, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Oxford\ "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\ \ \ \ \ \ BooknewsThis manual presents the family therapy method developed in the 1970s, which actively engages the patient's family in the treatment.
