{"product_id":"9781462542840","title":"Adolescent-Focused Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom pioneering family-based treatment developer James Lock, this is the first comprehensive guide to adolescent-focused therapy (AFT) for anorexia nervosa (AN), an evidence-based individual approach. 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.   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).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE GUILFORD PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185376788754,"sku":"9781462542840","price":77.84,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781462542840.jpg?v=1774735468","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781462542840","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
