When anorexia nervosa (AN) develops in a child, it impacts the entire family. However, family-based treatment (FBT) offers hope by reinstating fundamental family coping principles--empowering parents and supporting them and their children in overcoming this serious psychiatric illness.

My Kid is Back is an accessible guide to understanding FBT for parents of children with AN and the healthcare professionals working with them. Families, in their own words, describe how early intervention with FBT can greatly reduce the severity of anorexia nervosa in children and adolescents. They describe how the effects of AN can continue even after weight recovery. The family stories emphasise that the best outcome is most likely achieved when children access FBT early in their illness, and Prof. Le Grange draws on the latest evidence-based research findings to explain why. Read about the lives of young people a decade after receiving FBT for AN, twins with this illness, reflections from families from the first edition, and those receiving FBT online and inter-country.

Reflecting global influences and presented in a way that parents, doctors, and treatment teams can readily relate to and understand, My Kid is Back is an essential resource for families helping their child recover from anorexia nervosa.

June Alexander is a diarist, author, life-writing mentor, and ardent eating disorder advocate. Anorexia nervosa has shaped June's life and writing career. Her PhD explores diary writing as a self-help tool in eating disorder recovery.

Daniel Le Grange, PhD, holds a distinguished professorship in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of California in San Francisco and is the director of the Eating Disorders Program in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
