AFT is an effective alternative to family-based treatment that may be a better fit for some patients. Lock explains how AN serves as a maladaptive response to developmental challenges of adolescence. He presents a manualized framework for helping adolescents find more adaptive coping strategies, manage difficult emotions, and develop greater autonomy and a stronger sense of self, while reducing risky behaviors and restoring weight. AFT emphasizes the therapist-patient alliance and involves parents in a supportive role. Rich case material and sample dialogues illustrate how to implement each phase of the approach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e AFT is recognized as a best practice for the treatment of anorexia nervosa in adolescents by the U.K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Guilford Publications","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45036180668567,"sku":"9781462542840","price":3054.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781462542840.webp?v=1769212873","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/adolescent-focused-therapy-for-anorexia-nervosa-a-developmental-approach-9781462542840","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
