Praise for this book

"This book is a valuable companion piece to Treasure et al.'s existing volume, providing useful information, resources and skills for clinicians. However, this book's biggest contribution is the way in which it stresses that clinicians should see the family as a resource (rather than a nuisance or an irrelevance)." - Professor Glenn Waller, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Vincent Square Eating Disorders Service, CNWL NHS Foundation Trust, UK

"This is an extremely well written, informative and practical book that should be essential reading for professionals working in the eating disorders field. Throughout, the thorny problem of how to facilitate change, whilst simultaneously avoiding the inadvertent guilt, is firmly grasped, with much practical advice and examples." - David Wood, Child & Adolescent Mental Health, 16 [1], Feb 2011
