Adolescent Eating Disorders are a scarry, persistent and resistent problem that can rob a family of joy and theaten the life of a teenager. Often it is a problem that sneaks into the famiy and ends up reaking havoc before anyone can really put their finder on what is really going on. The eating disorder is like an alien that overtakes and transforms your daughter or son, causing confusion and resentment in the family.
The prognosis for this type of problem used to be fairly grim, with the possibility of a life time of struggle for the afflicted family member. However, as a result of new research, we now have proven and effective methods to defeat this problem. It won't be easy and it will require the resources of the entire family, but if you are reading this it shows you have taken the first step.
The Maudsely Method is a family based intervention (often referred to as Family Based Treatment or FBT) that has been shown to be effective in 85% of cases - not just reducing but eliminating symptoms. I work closely with the folks down at Stanford who invented this approach. I consult with them often and am in the process of receiving a more formal certification.
Feel free to contact me for more information.
