“Highly recommended for all professionals engaged in work with adolescents suffering from anorexia nervosa.”

Journal of Clinical Psychiatry (on the first edition)


“This work was designed to be most valuable to psychotherapists, and it succeeds well in this mission.”

Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (on the first edition)


“The third edition of this classic treatment manual incorporates timely clinical recommendations based on the latest research, including a chapter providing detailed, session-by-session guidance for intensive parental coaching. In line with the changing demographics of the illness, Lock and Le Grange provide updated guidance on delivering family-based treatment for atypical AN and for patients with gender diversity and neurodiversity. Finally, they carefully describe adaptations for virtual delivery of the therapy in our increasingly digital age. A tour de force.”

—Jennifer J. Thomas, PhD, FAED, Co-Director, Eating Disorders Clinical and Research Program, Massachusetts General Hospital; Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School


“The most significant developments in the field over the past decade are incorporated into the third edition of this manual. The authors summarize the recent literature, critically review who family-based treatment for AN may be most appropriate for, and discuss specific needs in the context of comorbidities or child development. There is also an emphasis on comparing family-based treatment with other therapies, including parent-focused approaches, which is an important addition.”

—Guido Frank, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University of California San Diego School of Medicine
