Thoroughly revised and updated with the latest research and
methodologies, the fourth edition of the classic guide written
specifically for parents, friends, and caregivers of individuals
with eating disorders. For more than thirty years, this classic
guide has been an essential resource for the "silent
sufferers"-those affected by a loved one's eating disorder. This
revised edition put family and friends at the center of the
treatment process, providing the latest information on the methods
and practices available to facilitate the recovery process.
Surviving an Eating Disorder is the first book for family and
friends to use a psychological perspective to understand eating
disorders. Other treatment manuals or self-help books propose
change but Surviving is the first to consider why change can be so
hard for everyone involved. The factors that can hinder progress
are discussed and the methods that can work are emphasized.
Illustrated with case examples, this fourth edition explains the
latest treatments and provides the necessary tools to carefully
evaluate what can be most effective for each reader's individual
care. The authors offer concrete advice and support, urging readers
to care for both themselves and their relationships as they support
their loved ones struggling with food and eating issues. With its
combination of information, insight, and practical strategies,
Surviving an Eating Disorder considers crisis as opportunity-a time
for the possibility of hope and change for everyone involved.
"Surviving an Eating Disorder" has become a classic since it was
first published in 1988. It was one of the first books to offer
effective support and solutions for parents, spouses, friends, and
all others who are the 'silent sufferers' of eating disorders. This
revised edition is updated with the latest information on what
methods and practices work best for families, helping readers take
new actions that will encourage the recovery process. The most
notable development in this world since the book was revised in
1997 is the growing popularity of an extreme treatment wherein
parents oversee the feeding habits of the eating disordered
individual. In this new edition, Dr. Brisman, who has written the
new material for the book, responds to this development. Instead of
telling families to oversee feeding as a rule, she advocates a more
individualistic approach, encouraging family members to try
different methods to see which works best.
