    About this ebook

    Practical solutions, compassionate communication tools and emotional support for parents of children and teenagers.

    Parents are best placed to help their teenager or young child beat an eating disorder, yet most struggle to know what to do and how to do it.

    In Anorexia and Other Eating Disorders, Eva Musby draws on her family’s successful use of evidence-based treatment to empower you to support your child through recovery.

    . Learn practical and effective mealtime skills
    . Help your child to eat well and be free of fears and compulsions
    . Know what to say and what not to say in highly charged situations
    . Recognise the treatments that work and the ones that don’t
    . Develop your own emotional resources

    However difficult your situation, this book gives you the tools you need to care for your child, your family and yourself. Using compassionate presence, Nonviolent Communication, mindfulness and acceptance, Eva Musby plots out a path towards well-being.

    With a wealth of guidance and practical examples, Anorexia and Other Eating Disorders is an invaluable guide to coping with and overcoming an eating disorder in the family.

    "Finally! I have read anything and everything on anorexia and this is the most helpful by far"

    Author

    Eva Musby

    Eva Musby's daughter was struck by anorexia when she was ten years old. She was hospitalised for a year, and on her return home Eva Musby pieced together a wealth of practical and emotional tools to effectively support her recovery. This approach is in line with family-based treatment, one of the very few evidence-based approaches for the treatment of eating disorders. Eva Musby's work for the parents of children with an eating disorder rests on years of personal experience, is informed by research, and supported by a network of parents and professionals across the world.
