Treatment Manuals

Treatment Manual for Anorexia Nervosa:
A Family-Based Approach

by James Lock, Daniel le Grange, W. Stewart Agras,
& Christopher Dare

This manual for treatment professionals provides an authoritative and detailed description of the Maudsley approach, the leading family-based treatment for adolescents with anorexia nervosa. 

Treating Bulimia in Adolescents:
A Family-Based Approach
by Daniel le Grange and James Lock

An indispensable clinical resource, this groundbreaking book is the first treatment manual to focus specifically on adolescent bulimia nervosa. The authors draw on their proven approach to treating anorexia nervosa in the family context and adapt it to the unique needs of this related yet distinct clinical population. Evidence-based strategies are presented for helping the whole family collaborate to bring dysfunctional eating behaviors under control, while also addressing co-occurring psychological problems and parent-child relationship conflicts. Highly practical, the book shows exactly how to carry out this time-limited therapy and what to do when problems arise. Special features include annotated session transcripts and answers to frequently asked questions.



Clinician Training

The Training Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders was founded by Dr. Daniel le Grange and Dr. James Lock to train and certify therapists and other clinicians in evidence-based treatments for child and adolescent eating disorders.

The Institute currently offers specific training in Family-Based Treatment (FBT), sometimes called the Maudsley Approach, for anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. For more information, visit the Institute website: Train2Treat4Ed.com
