Book Description
The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders shows that effective solutions begin at home and cost little more than a healthy investment of time, effort, and love. Based on exciting new research, it differs from similar books in several key ways. Instead of concentrating on the grim, expensive hospital stays of patients with severe disorders, the authors focus on the family, teaching parents how to examine and understand their family's approach to food and body-image issues and its effect their child's behaviour. The book also includes an appendix and sections on further reading, organizations and websites, residential and hospital programs, and references.

No More Walking on Eggshells!, Mar 1 2008
By Jenni Schaefer "Author of "Life Without E... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders: Supporting Self-Esteem, Healthy Eating, and Positive Body Image At Home (Paperback)
When I was struggling with anorexia and bulimia, my family felt lost. They did not know what to do; they did not know what to say. They felt like they were walking on eggshells around me.I wish that "The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders" had been around when I was battling my eating disorder. It would have benefited both my family and me immensely. This easy-to-read book not only gives hope but also provides real guidance for finding a full recovery.
As a recovered individual and a professional working in the eating disorder field today, I highly recommend "The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders" to all parents, patients, and professionals dealing with this illness. Unlike other books, the authors give a full spectrum view of eating disorder treatment, including the life-saving Maudsley approach.
With "The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders," there is no more walking on eggshells!

This review is from: The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders: Supporting Self-Esteem, Healthy Eating, and Positive Body Image At Home (Paperback)
Childhood and adolescent eating disorders are as complex as they are wide spread among the youth of today. Now parents have a practical, comprehensive, effective, and 'user friendly' instruction manual on how they can help their children to overcome (and even avoid) any category of eating disorder through a home-based recovery with "The Parent's Guide To Eating Disorders: Supporting Self-Esteem, Healthy Eating, & Positive Body Image At Home" by Marcia Herrin (Founder of the Dartmoth College Eating Disorder Prevention, Education and Treatment Programs) and writer/author Nancy Matsumoto. This newly updated and expanded second edition of "The Parent's Guide To Eating Disorders" includes four chapters devoted to the Maudsley approach, the highly successful, parent-assisted method for normalizing eating behavior. Of special note is the first-person account by the mother of one anorexic child who describes her daughter's recovery using the techniques developed by Dr. Herrin. Other sections of "The Parent's Guide To Eating Disorders" focus on family communications, the medical consequences of eating disorders, advice for siblings, relapse prevention, food plans, and boys who are at risk for an eating disorder. Informed and informative, "The Parent's Guide To Eating Disorders" is a very strongly recommended addition to family and community library Health & Medicine reference collections in general, and Eating Disorder supplemental reading lists in particular.
