Struggling to help someone you love as they battle an eating disorder? This book will arm you with the knowledge, understanding and skills you need to be able to help your loved one towards recovery. Psychologist and eating disorder specialist Dr Pamela Macdonald has been working with carers for over a decade. Here, she uses the established New Maudsley Approach, an evidence-based therapy toolkit which equips carers with the communication skills they need to best help their loved one. Dr Macdonald has personal experience of the effects that an eating disorder can have on the entire family and strongly believes that carers and parents are a crucial element to the recovery process.
