Guide to Eating Disorder Recovery in ChildrenHow Parents Can Help Their Child Recover from Anorexia & Bulimia
This guide to eating disorder recovery in children helps parents learn how to help their child recover from anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorders.
How do parents help their child recover from an eating disorder? Can parents do it alone or do they need to seek professional help for anorexia, bulimia or binge eating disorder? In Marcia Herrin and Nancy Matsumoto’s groundbreaking book, The Parent’s Guide to Eating Disorders: Supporting Self-Esteem, Healthy Eating, & Positive Body Image at Home, they provide real answers and solutions to eating disorder treatment. Basing her work on her own professional experience, Marcia Herrin also uses the Maudsley Approach as a basis and has created her own adaptation she calls, Parent-Assisted Meals and Snacks, or PAMS. The Maudsley Approach for AnorexiaA new method formulated in the 1980’s by British researchers Christopher Dare and Ivan Eisler, focuses on family meals and not psychology. Parents coach their child with anorexia through playing a central role in his or her recovery.
Parent-Assisted Meals and SnacksPAMS was developed from the Maudsley Approach, which can also be used to treat bulimia and binge eating disorder. It is a step-by-step program using a nutritional approach to home-based recovery, all which is outlined in her book. This normalizes the child or teenager’s eating patterns so that they can re-integrate back into their life. What Parents Can Do (Summarized from The Guide to Eating Disorders)
