"Dr. Dimitropoulos and her team have drawn on their wealth of knowledge in the areas of adolescent development and family systems as well as eating disorder treatment. In doing so, they have created a model that is both in line with cutting-edge scientific evidence and extremely patient-centered. This manual is an absolute necessity for anyone practicing in the eating disorders space, and offers an invaluable foundation of best practices for all clinicians and researchers hoping to effectively work with patients ages 16-25." Jocelyn Lebow, PhD, LP, Consultant, Division of Integrated Behavioral Health, Department of Psychiatry & Psychology, Mayo Clinic School of Medicine "This seminal book provides guidance on the evidence-base, theory and rationale for providing Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for Transition Age Youth (TAY) with eating disorders. Further background is provided on the critical differences between traditional FBT and FBT-TAY. In addition, this book includes a detailed step-by-step guide to providing this treatment. Every clinician caring for youth aged 16-25 years will want to read this book!"
