Editorial Reviews: Product Description IWhen Your Child has an Eating Disorder/I is the first hands-on workbook to help parents successfully intervene when they suspect their child has an eating disorder. This step-by-step guide is filled with self-tests, questions and answers, journaling and role playing exercises, and practical resources that give parents the insight they need to understand eating disorders and their treatment, recognize symptoms in their child, and work with their child toward recovery. This excellent and effective resource is one therapists can feel confident about recommending to patients.

Customer Reviews: Read 7 more reviews... Should be titled "Does your child have an eating disorder" February 1, 2008 6 out of 6 found this review helpful I purchased this book hoping to get some information about how I can help my daughter with her eating disorder. About a third of the book is exercises to determine IF your child might have an eating disorder (and much of this is listing myths). Then it skips right into comparing different types of treatment. I found nothing in this book about how I could help my daughter after her diagnosis and between doctor/psychologist visits. I felt like I was reading a college textbook on Eating Disorders 101. As a parent of a child afflicted with anorexia, I did not find this book helpful. Perhaps it would be useful for someone who suspects his or her child has an eating disorder and wants more information. Excellent March 29, 2007 Very good for family members and even for the anorexci person themselves. Simple and easy to read, lots of good tips for friends and family. comprehensive and understandable February 15, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful I am a MSW candidate at Simmons College with an extra interest in Eating Disorders. I have done a lot of research on the subject and have found this book to be the best I have seen recently. When Your Child has an Eating Disorder is comprehensive and concise. It is the most understandable book, laying out everything in a clear way. I find a lot of books written by therapists convoluted and over intellectualized to the point were one cannot tell what the topic is.br /br /Both layman and professionals will be able to master more knowledge by reading this book than reading a dozen others.br /br / When Your Child Has an Eating Disorder: A Step-By-Step Workbook for Parents and Other Caregivers January 27, 2007 1 out of 3 found this review helpful This book is a trmendous help for those of us who have no idea what to do. Instead of feeling guilty or walking on eggs around the person, it gives good explanations of the disease and ideas for interaction. A great help. educational, unconditional, and a grand lesson for communicating July 29, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful I am a 29 year old adult who went through the recovery process of an eating disorder 10 years ago. Upon experiencing a reoccurrence of the disorder, I read this book. I was elated with the knowledge and kindness vibrating off the pages. I have gotten back on track thanks to Abigail. In addition to the education on Eating Disorders, I found this book a GEM on communicating. It has changed the way my husband and I speak and listen to one another, as well as our young children. It encourages family dynamics be explored to help recovery, but is it not a good lesson for all parents (families)to learn to "hear" what is said, and to what is not said. I will keep this book on my shelf as an invaluable resource for Eating Disorders, or any emotional disorder that may come up, for parenting, and for communication skills. Thank you, Abbie for your time and efforts in writting this book.
