In the years 1980 to the present, Parents and Families have been blamed,

exiled and overlooked.  We are now seeing them as essential collaborators in

the comprehensive treatment of adolescents and young adults with eating

disorders.

All of us can learn a great deal from listening to individuals we treat and their

families.  The articles contained here provide different viewpoints about

treatment, recovery, balancing priorities and finding meaning.  We are amazed

by the grace and grit of individuals and families who struggle with eating

disorders.
