Review

"This book will help you cope better with the challenge of helping your loved one recover. Although intended for carers, this book should be mandatory reading for professionals involved in the treatment of people with an eating disorder." - Eric F. van Furth, Ph.D. President, Academy for Eating Disorders (AED), Clinical Director, Center for Eating Disorders, Leidschendam, The Netherlands

"This book will be a wonderful resource for parents, friends and families of those who suffer from eating disorders." - Kitty Westin, President, The Anna Westin Foundation

"Few books provide specific guidance for family members about how they can help their children, siblings, partners, and spouses who are struggling with an eating disorder. This book is an exception." - James Lock, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at Stanford University and author of 'Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder'

"The combination of practical suggestions, real life situations and a sound theoretical basis in the Maudsley model make this book invaluable for any family with a loved one struggling to overcome an eating disorder." - Susan Ringwood, Chief Executive Officer of beat

"In bygone days parents were blamed when a young person developed an eating disorder. The authors dismiss this injustice and instead focus on carers learning the skills necessary to help those they care for overcome their eating disorder. The advice is subtle and is derived from the practical experience of professionals treating sufferers from eating disorders." – Gerald Russell, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, The Institute of Psychiatry, London, UK

"I would highly recommend that health professionals buy this manual and in turn recommend it to anyone involved in the care of someone with an eating disorder. It is the type of book the whole family can benefit from." - Gillian Todd, Psychological Medicine, Vol. 39, 2009

"This book continues to be a very useful resource to me to help equip and support carers of those with an eating disorder and I would highly recommend it to therapists who work in this area." - Carol Wain, ITA News, July 2010

At last, something carers can do! 26 Mar 2009

By Flo Wilson

Format:Paperback

For 7 years I was told that my daughter would recover from severe anorexia only if she wanted to, but she was adamant that she didn't want recovery so all I could do was suffer through her many long stays in hospital and her agonising thinness. Until this book came along and showed that by changing my behaviour and the way I relate to her, I could at least create a better climate for recovery. Now at long last she is trying to gain weight.

Skills based learning for caring for a loved one with an eating disorder 3 Feb 2009

By Saddlebags

A very good book for people caring for someone with, in my case, anorexia. Many carers feel guilty about their reaction to eating disorders and this takes you through all the emotions and helps you to deal with your own feelings and reactions which in turns helps the sufferer. I would recommend that you read it as soon as you can after a diagnosis.

Skills based learning for caring for a loved one with an eating disorder 18 Jun 2009

By L. Teasdale

I have not read the whole book but as a professional and volunteer working with people who care for people with eating disorders I would recommend this book. It is really easy to read and I believe will be a real help to families. People who have eating disorders will find this book useful too.
