Innovations in Family Therapy for Eating Disorders ─ Novel Treatment Developments, Patient Insights, and the Role of Carers

Innovations in Family Therapy for Eating Disorders brings together prominent voices from the field to present conceptual advances, preliminary data, and patient perspectives on family-based treatments for eating disorders. This innovative volume is based on a special issue of Eating Disorders: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention and includes an all new section on the needs of carers and couples, "Tales from the Trenches," and qualitative studies of patient, parent, and carer experiences.
