This indispensable manual presents the leading empirically
supported treatment approach for adolescents with anorexia nervosa
(AN). What sets family-based treatment apart is the central role
played by parents and siblings throughout therapy. The book gives
practitioners a clear framework for mobilizing parents to promote
their child's weight restoration and healthy eating; improving
parent-child relationships; and getting adolescent development back
on track. Each phase of therapy is described in session-by-session
detail. In-depth case illustrations show how to engage clients
while flexibly implementing the validated treatment procedures. New

treatment, including additional research supporting the approach.
*Clarifies key concepts and techniques. *Chapter on emerging
directions in training and treatment dissemination. *Many new
clinical strategies. Family-based treatment is recognized as a best
practice for the treatment of anorexia nervosa in adolescents by
the U.K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
Eating disorders are potentially life-threatening psychiatric
illnesses commonly accompanied by serious medical problems. They
typically appear during adolescence or early adulthood, a time when
young people are heading to college or interviewing for a first
job. Many people recover fully from eating disorders, but others
become chronically ill, and symptoms can continue into middle age
and beyond. Written by leading authorities in eating disorders
research and treatment, Eating Disorders: What Everyone Needs to
Know answers common questions about eating disorders, including
anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, as
well as a newly described condition, avoidant/restrictive food
intake disorder (ARFID). Practical yet authoritative, the book
defines the eating disorders, explains what we know about them
based on the latest science, and describes how treatment works.
Importantly, the book dispels common myths about eating disorders,
such as the notion that they occur only amongst the affluent, that
they affect only girls and women, or that they simply result from
environmental factors such as the fashion industry and society's
obsession with thinness. In reality, as the book explains, there is
substantial evidence that eating disorders are brain-based
illnesses that do not discriminate, and that they have been around
for a very long time. Eating Disorders: What Everyone Needs to Know
is essential reading for those seeking authoritative and current
information about these often misunderstood illnesses.

diagnosis. New to This Edition *Reflects 15 years of important
advances in both fields, including state-of-the-art intervention
approaches and a growing focus on how the brain regulates eating
behavior. *Dozens of entirely new chapters. *New topics:

More than simple cases of dieting gone awry, eating disorders such
as anorexia and bulimia are among the most fatal of mental
illnesses, responsible for more deaths each year than any other
psychiatric disorder. These illnesses afflict millions of young
people, especially women, all over the world.
Carrie Arnold developed anorexia as an adolescent and nearly lost
her life to the disease. In Next to Nothing, she tells the story of
her descent into anorexia, how and why she fell victim to this
mysterious illness, and how she was able to seek help and recover
after years of therapy and hard work. Now an adult, Arnold uses her
own experiences to offer practical advice and guidance to young
adults who have recently been diagnosed with an eating disorder, or
who are at risk for developing one. Drawing on the expertise of B.
Timothy Walsh, M.D., one of America's leading authorities on eating
disorders, she reveals in easy-to-understand terms what is known
and not known medically about anorexia and bulimia. The book covers
such difficult topics as how to make sense of a diagnosis, the
various psychotherapies available to those struggling with an
eating disorder, psychiatric hospitalization, and how to talk about
these illnesses to family and friends. The result is both a
compelling memoir and a practical guide that will help to ease the
isolation that an eating disorder can impose, showing young people
how to manage and maintain their recovery on a daily basis.
Part of the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative series of books
written specifically for teens and young adults, Next to Nothing
will also be a valuable resource to the friends and family of those
with eating disorders. Itoffers much-needed hope to young people,
helping them to overcome these illnesses and lead productive and
healthy lives.
