Alexander, June, 1950-2025
Books, Manuscripts
When anorexia nervosa (AN) develops in a child, it impacts the entire family. However, family-based treatment (FBT) offers hope by reinstating fundamental family coping principles-empowering parents and supporting them and their children in overcoming this serious psychiatric illness. 'My Kid is Back' is an accessible guide to understanding FBT for parents of children with AN and the healthcare professionals working with them. Families, in their own words, describe how early intervention with FBT can greatly reduce the severity of anorexia nervosa in children and adolescents. They describe how the effects of AN can continue even after weight recovery. The family stories emphasise the best outcome is most likely for children accessing FBT early in their illness, and Prof. Le Grange draws on the latest evidence-based research findings to explain why.
