Abstract

Family-based therapy or “Maudsley” has increasing evidence for its efficacy in the treatment of child and adolescent eating disorders. Available in manualized form, widely available, and supported by an ever-increasing research literature, the application of this outpatient treatment continues to be challenging for many front-line clinicians and is a fairly significant departure from previous treatment methods. The current article explores the research supporting this methodology and the iterations of this treatment, such as the use of multi-family groups, parent support groups or with non-psychiatric comorbidities. Further clinical guidance is provided to assist the clinician in identifying tips, strategies and techniques for success in implementation of these skills with families.
