Maudsley Family-Based Treatment

Maudsley Family-Based Treatment (Maudsley FBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach used to help adolescents recover from anorexia nervosa. It actively involves parents in managing their child's eating and weight restoration, empowering them to guide and support their recovery at home. The therapy emphasizes parental control over eating routines initially, gradually shifting responsibility back to the adolescent. It also addresses emotional and behavioral issues related to the disorder. The goal is to restore healthy weight, improve psychological well-being, and strengthen family relationships, promoting long-term recovery through collaborative parental involvement.
