"Drawing on specific cases from the author's nearly 30 years in practice, family sessions invite the reader into the treatment process. Documented with up to 20 years of qualitative data, the book demonstrates the power of this treatment model, while at the same time revealing the underlying strength and resiliency of the clients and families. The book contains explicit interventions demonstrated through therapy sessions conducted with eating disorder patients and their families along with follow-up interviews with patients to assess change and improvement."
"Enduring Change in Eating Disorders provides a perspective on the successful treatment of one of the most debilitating and recalcitrant psychiatric diseases. This book presents the model of Intensive Structural Family Therapy and its application to the treatment of eating disorders."
"This book describes in the eating disorder sufferer's own words their challenges and, in many cases, their ultimate success. This book is for practitioners, individuals with eating disorders, and their families."--Jacket
