Q

What are the key elements of family based therapy for eating disorders?

A

Parents: Do not cause eating disorders and should not be blamed Can be angry at the eating disorder, not at their child who is suffering with an eating disorder. A child or teenager with an eating disorder is not doing it on purpose or for attention Need to understand that anorexia nervosa is a serious condition that probably would not improve without treatment Need to be responsible for their child’s weight gain. Weight restoration is the first step in treatment Must be in charge of eating and exercise until the child has returned to health Should support and supervise their child’s meals and snacks Must appreciate that eating disorders affect a child’s ability to make reasonable decisions about food and exercise; parents must temporarily manage these areas of the child’s life Medical visits: Should be frequent at first, such as weekly or biweekly Should include checking the patient’s weight and vital signs at each visit Should include meeting with the patient alone to review his or her eating attitudes, behaviours and challenges at each visit Should include feedback about weight and vitals to both the parents and patient at each visit Should include frequent reminders and encouragement to the parents about the need to insist on adequate nutrition and limit setting Behavioural management: Encourages parents to use ‘natural consequences’ for food refusal. For example, do not allow the teenager to attend a sports practice until a proper dinner is eaten Involves a gradual return of the responsibility from the parents back to the child once the refeeding is going well Includes slowly integrating exercise back into the child’s life once weight is steadily increasing

Q

Suggestions for addressing bullying

A

̈ Bullying is a common problem

̈ Do not overreact, remain calm, tell Paul you will not just run to the school

principal (children are afraid things will get worse if they are seen as a tattle)

̈ Listen to what Paul has to say

̈ Let Paul know that you do not blame him, that it is not his fault

̈ Identify leaders and supporters of bullying

̈ Notify appropriate authorities if child is at physical risk (E.g. weapons)

̈ Notify school authorities and/or other parents depending on severity

̈ Work in collaboration with the school (teachers and principals often unaware) –

teachers should be aware about when and by whom bullying occurs

̈ Ask teacher to help Paul get a “buddy” (older child or classmate), or organize and

supervise a fun activity at recess, so Paul can be social and safer

̈ Avoid comments such as “why don’t you just stand up for yourself?”

̈ Talk to Paul about what makes people act like bullies (usually, they are unhappy)

̈ Not a good idea to tell Paul to respond kindly to the bullies

̈ Not a good idea to tell Paul to go along with what bullies say

̈ Suggest that Paul use comments such as “I don’t like teasing. Stop.” And then

walk away from the situation ignoring any further taunt.

̈ Praise Paul for facing up to his fears (boost self-confidence)

̈ Role play situations

̈ Encourage Paul’s participation in activities he enjoys, and in which he excels

(E.g. chess, book club)

̈ Enroll Paul in community social clubs – developing friendships in or outside

school has a strong buffering effect

̈ Big brother / support group for Paul

̈ Consider SW / psychology consult

̈ Pediatrician to give a talk at the school if NO “no tolerance” bullying policy in

place

̈ Parent support group

̈ Videos, Books: “Bullies and victims”

̈ Written documentation, websites on bullying
