Here's another resource for you: Maudsley Parents, a website of resources for families who want to help their children recover through family-based treatment. I created it with several other parents and we maintain it for parents. The URL is www.maudsleyparents.org. I hope you'll visit.

Dear Lily,
Thank you so much for featuring our book and recommending us to your members. We are all working toward the same thing -- educating people about and helping them overcome eating disorders. If any of your members or readers out there have nutritional questions regarding eating disorders, refeeding or recovery, they can send them into us through our website, www.eatingdisordersaid.com.
Harriet, thank you for introducing us to Maudsley Parents, a very helpful aid and resource for parents. We added four new chapters on the Maudsley Method in this latest edition of "The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders" to address the growing number of parents who are using the method, including lots of good information on the coached family meal and how to get your child to take the first bite.
Take care,
Nancy Matsumoto
