CONTENTS: Introduction Recipes ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Claire Norton is a registered dietician and licensed nutritionist in Massachusetts who has spent 20 years providing care in the field of women's and children's nutrition.

REVIEWS: "I want to put this book into the hands of every parent the day their precious child is diagnosed with an eating disorder. This is an optimistic, thorough, and very practical tool that puts parents right where they need to be. One meal at a time." "The temptation to prescribe detailed meal plans which become a source of strife between adolescents and parents in common practice. Ms. Norton's boo, using a clear understanding of family-based treatment based on the Maudsley approach, avoids this pitfall and recommends a strategy of helpful consultation and information that parents can use." |
