49.99 €
This book is written for parents and offers effective strategies for treating eating disorders at home. It will help parents learn about the family's eating habits, how to identify eating disorders early on, how to teach their child healthy eating habits from an early age, how to develop a positive body image, and how to avoid judging and threatening their child. The guide will also be helpful to the therapist working with clients who are going through the difficult journey of overcoming eating disorders. This is the first book written by a dietitian to address eating disorders in children and adolescents with an emphasis on therapy in the home. Early detection and control of eating, plus effective solutions that begin first and foremost in the home environment, with a willingness to show love, patience, and time with your child, are the ingredients that the authors believe will aid effective treatment. Unique to this - now in its second edition - is that it describes the Maudsley approach, which is the focus of four chapters of the book. This method of helping eating disorders is based on parental involvement in treating the child and normalizing his or her eating habits. Also found in the book is a touching story told by the mother of a girl who suffered from anorexia. The child was able to cope with the affliction thanks to Dr. Herrin's techniques. In the updated sections of the book includes fresh information about the families of those who are struggling with the disease, the consequences of the disease, preventing relapses. Here the reader will find advice for relatives, dietary guidelines, and information about those who are potentially at risk.
