What is Family Based Therapy?
Family Based Therapy (FBT), also referred to as the Maudsley method, is a first-line approach to a range of adolescent eating difficulties and disorders. In Family Based Therapy, clinicians do not analyse why the eating difficulty developed, rather they work within the family structure, joining parent and child together to over come the disorder. Sessions of FBT typically involve the whole family and may include an opportunity to eat a family meal together with your psychologist.
Research has shown that FBT tends to work faster than other treatments as it assigns the transition to fulsome meals and nutrition back to the parents, enabling them with coaching skills to assist their child on a daily basis from within the home environment.
