Maudsley Approach

The Maudsley Approach is a family-based treatment for adolescents with eating disorders like anorexia. It involves parents actively taking part in managing their child's recovery, especially around re-establishing healthy eating habits. Parents support their child to regain weight and develop a healthier relationship with food, while gradually giving them independence. The goal is to empower families to work together to overcome the disorder, emphasizing collaboration, support, and patience throughout the recovery process.
