In doing so, they have created a model that is both in line with cutting-edge scientific evidence and extremely patient-centered. This manual is an absolute necessity for anyone practicing in the eating disorders space, and offers an invaluable foundation of best practices for all clinicians and researchers hoping to effectively work with patients ages 16-25.”Jocelyn Lebow, PhD, LP, Consultant, Division of Integrated Behavioral Health, Department of Psychiatry & Psychology, Mayo Clinic School of Medicine“This seminal book provides guidance on the evidence-base, theory and rationale for providing Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for Transition Age Youth (TAY) with eating disorders. Further background is provided on the critical differences between traditional FBT and FBT-TAY. In addition, this book includes a detailed step-by-step guide to providing this treatment. Every clinician caring for youth aged 16-25 years will want to read this book!”Jennifer Couturier, MD, MSc, FRCPC, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and Medical Co-Director, McMaster Children’s Hospital Eating Disorders Program; Professor, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioural Neurosciences, McMaster University"This book offers a thoughtful and much-needed contribution to the evolving field of eating disorder treatment. What distinguishes this work is its careful balance of scientific rigor and clinical wisdom. The authors articulate the foundational principles of family-based care while demonstrating how these principles can be applied with greater developmental sensitivity for individuals navigating the transition to adulthood. By emphasizing collaboration with the young person alongside continued caregiver involvement, FBT-TAY reflects the realities of this life stage and honors the emerging autonomy of young adults without compromising the urgency of medical and nutritional recovery.This book is a timely and important resource that advances both the science and practice of eating disorder care."Dr. Karen Bernstein, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, University of Illinois Chicago
