"The efficacy of this form of treatment has now been
established--it has become the first-choice intervention for
adolescents with AN. Containing clear guidance and numerous
examples, this book is required reading for all clinicians who
treat young people with this disorder."--B. Timothy Walsh, MD,
Ruane Professor of Psychiatry, Columbia University; Director,
Division of Clinical Therapeutics, New York State Psychiatric
Institute
"Now in an updated second edition, this is arguably the most
important book on the treatment of younger patients with AN to be
published in the last 20 years. Clinicians who work with this
patient population and their family members need to read--and
use--this manual."--James E. Mitchell, MD, The Lee A. Christoferson
Chair in Neuroscience Research and Chester Fritz Distinguished
University Professor, University of North Dakota School of Medicine
and Health Sciences
"An important milestone in the development of effective treatments
for adolescent AN. The publication of the second edition is timely,
reflecting the growing evidence base and the widespread acceptance
that active involvement of families in treatment is a key
ingredient in recovery. The authors' ability to combine sound
empirical knowledge and clinical wisdom makes this book a 'must'
for practitioners."--Ivan Eisler, PhD, Department of Psychological
Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, United
Kingdom
"This manual has been an invaluable tool for our clinical practice.
Lock and Le Grange have produced the authoritative guide to FBT for
AN. Their evidence-based approach has made conversations with
parents about how to address this debilitating illness much more
collaborative and hopeful."--Leslie A. Sim, PhD, Clinical Director,
Mayo Clinic Eating Disorders Program
"In writing and updating their treatment manual, Lock and Le Grange
demonstrate an exemplary respect for the bidirectional relationship
between research and practice. The second edition incorporates more
than a decade's worth of additional clinical trials and clinical
experience, yielding a rich description of a powerful intervention
for a notoriously difficult-to-treat disorder. This manual is an
essential resource for therapists and a cornerstone text for a
graduate-level course or practicum in eating disorders
interventions."--Katharine L. Loeb, PhD, School of Psychology,
Fairleigh Dickinson University; Department of Psychiatry, Mount
Sinai School of Medicine
