Description
Adolescent-Focused Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa: A Developmental Approach
This comprehensive guide provides an evidence-based individual approach to treating adolescents with anorexia nervosa. Developed by James Lock, it offers a manualized framework for helping young people find more adaptive coping strategies and develop greater autonomy.
Rich case material and sample dialogues illustrate how to implement each phase of the approach, which emphasizes the therapist-patient alliance and involves parents in a supportive role. This approach is recognized as a best practice by the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
