"Living up to its promise, this impressive book provides cutting edge information concerning family therapy with patients, families and other carers coping with eating disorders. Many chapters are written by foremost researchers, theorists, scholars and hands-on clinicians devoted to understanding anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. The volume is enriched by first-person accounts of patients, families and their clinicians who struggle to foster recovery and resilience as they face these often devastating disorders' difficult challenges."
Joel Yager, MD, professor of psychiatry, University of Colorado School of Medicine

"This groundbreaking volume brings together some of the most creative voices to continue the development of family-based treatments, which are founded on the invaluable insight that families are part of the solution, instead of merely part of the problem. In addition, authors provide an experience-near view of the trials and triumphs the whole family faces in this complex endeavor. Highly recommended, and sure to be referenced for many years to come."
Tom Wooldridge, PsyD, assistant professor, Golden Gate University

"Innovations in Family Therapy for Eating Disorders brings together the insights of clinicians, researchers, carers as well as sufferers in order to help us "think outside the box" in relation to the family based treatment of eating disorders.

"Innovations in Family Therapy for Eating Disorders is a rich and comprehensive review of the clinical power of family based approaches to the treatment of people and families affected by eating disorders.

"No matter the perspective that brings you to eating disorders, this book should be on your shelf. Rather than staying fixed in one narrow viewpoint, Innovations in Family Therapy for Eating Disorders helps the reader to push the boundaries of their own approach and hopefully to see a future that is, to borrow a phrase from the editors, 'brighter, broader, and more diverse than ever before.'"                                                                                   Peter Doyle, PhD, AED Book Reviewer
