Summary : If your teenager shows signs of having an eating disorder, you may hope that, with the right mix of love, encouragement, and parental authority, he or she will just "snap out of it." If only it were that simple. To make matters worse, certain treatments assume you've somehow contributed to the problem and prohibit you from taking an active role. But as you watch your own teen struggle with a life-threatening illness, every fiber of your being tells you there must be some part you can play in restoring your child's health. In Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder, James Lock and Daniel Le Grange--two of the nation's top experts on the treatment of eating disorders--present compelling evidence that your involvement as a parent is critical. In fact, it may be the key to conquering your child's illness. Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder provides the tools you need to build a united family front that attacks the illness to ensure that your child develops nourishing eating habits and life-sustaining attitudes, day by day, meal by meal. Full recovery takes time, and relapse is common. But whether your child has already entered treatment or you're beginning to suspect there is a problem, the time to act is now. This book shows how.

Summary : Eating disorders have been around for centuries - the earliest known descriptions of anorexia nervosa date back to the 12th century and are related to Saint Catherine of Siena, who denied food as part of spiritual practice. For better or for worse, it took seven centuries for the term to find itself a place in health and medical literature, with Hilde Bruch publishing a book Eating Disorders: Obesity, Anorexia, and the Person Within. Most authors argue that the increase in the number of people, particularly women, suffering from eating disorders is due to cultural pressures of the new age: the ideal of thinness, dieting, and depression have all collided in the complex range of conditions that affect people physically, socially and psychologically. The important thing to know is that anyone can develop an eating disorder, regardless of age or gender. Another thing to note at the very beginning is that there's no single reason why someone develops the condition. Instead, there's a number of factors that increases one's predispositions, such as genetic, environmental, psychological, biological and social factors. Disorders are treatable, and full recovery is possible; however, timing matters. The sooner one accepts his/her disorder and makes steps towards getting treatment, the smoother the recovery will be. The realization that it is not enough for the person to begin eating normally again in order to fight his or her eating disorder is the key to receiving proper treatment. Hope this book will help you face the person within you and beat your eating disorder.
