Young people develop anorexia because they are unhappy. In the
process of becoming anorexic they silence themselves and distance
themselves from parental support. Family therapy can help patients
by improving their communication with their parents. Therapists can
support parents in helping their children to find their voices.
This book presents a review of the research evidence that has
guided the development of family therapy for young people with
anorexia. In addition, it presents the current evidence for a
family model. A flexible model is proposed to meet different family
scenarios and levels of treatment resistance. Greg Dring argues
that the evidence indicates the need for an assertive approach to
therapy, drawing on the full range of family therapy skills
available, in order to re-instate a healthy relationship between
parents and children. This book is intended for family therapists
and other clinicians in Child and Mental Health Services who work
with young people with anorexia.
