Living With Food: The Science Supporting Eating Disorder Treatment

By, Sarah Emerman

Eating disorders are an illness of dialectics, and it is not uncommon that clients both want to recover and stay in their illness at the same time. Therefore, when clients come into treatment there is often a great deal of resistance that accompanies motivation to recover. One of the many things we appreciate about the Maudsley Method is the separation of the eating disorder from the client to help clients and their families externalize the loud voice of "ED". This distinction helps enable clients and their families to fight against the illness, rather than the client them self. For more information please take a look at this article on the F.E.A.S.T. website on Resistance to Treatment.
