Reviews / Votes

"It is heartbreaking to have a child with an eating disorder. But it's worse if you don't feel you have support, good information or a roadmap to recovery. If Your Adolescent Has an Eating Disorder is an excellent way to get grounded. It contains some of the best information you will find on the subject. This volume on eating disorders is direct, frank and evenhanded."--Mary Beth Regan, The Baltimore Sun
"If Your Adolescent Has an Eating Disorder is a powerful tool and 'must read' for parents trying to make some sense of the confusion surrounding these difficult illnesses.

"If Your Adolescent Has an Eating Disordertruly will be a GREAT resource for parents! It addresses so many of the hard questions parents face like what to expect, getting the right treatment, and the realities of daily life with someone with an eating disorder. The book is realit offers help and, most importantly, hope. As a parent of an adolescent who died from an eating disorder, I can honestly say that I needed so much more information than was
available at the time, and I wish this book had been written five years ago.- I was especially impressed with the authors' ability to present very complicated material in a "user friendly" way They not only give
parents, caregivers, and families the scientific information essential to understanding an eating disorder, they give practical information and advice from the professionals and the true 'experts' --parents-- on how to cope with the multitude of issues that will follow the diagnosis." --Kitty Westin, President, The Anna Westin Foundation
