"Sadeh-Sharvit and Locks groundbreaking approach to preventing the transmission of unhealthy eating habits from parents with eating disorder histories to their children addresses a crucial, previously overlooked need within our field. Given the alarmingly increased risk for the development of such behaviors within this population, this volume is an exceptional resource. Complete with case examples, specific phase and session goals, a discussion of common therapist dilemmas within each session, and a chapter devoted entirely to individualized adaptation of the treatment, Parents with Eating Disorders provides clinicians with a practical, easy-to-use guide to facilitate healthy long-term adjustment for the entire family system."
