Offers guidance for clinicians working with families and carers. This book demonstrates how active collaboration between professional and non-professional carers can maximise quality of life for both the sufferer and other family members.

Reviews and Endorsements

'This book is a valuable companion piece to Treasure et al.'s existing volume, providing useful information, resources and skills for clinicians. However, this book's biggest contribution is the way in which it stresses that clinicians should see the family as a resource (rather than a nuisance or an irrelevance).'
- Professor Glenn Waller, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Vincent Square Eating Disorders Service, CNWL NHS Foundation Trust
