Workbook: The Free Guide for Professionals
The Free Guide for Professionals is available through www.empoweredparents.com for therapists, doctors, nutritionists, and patient educators to download. The guide offers useful strategies and treatment ideas to incorporate into their practice.
Download the complimentary Professional’s Guide for using When Your Child Has an Eating Disorder: A Step-by-Step Workbook for Parents and Other Caregivers as a resource in their professional work with clients, as well as a tool for evoking and enhancing the professional’s own sense of self-awareness, knowledgeability and self-confidence in treating these diseases.
The Guide makes When Your Child Has an Eating Disorder: A Step-by-Step Workbook for Parents and Other Caregivers a tool as useful to professionals as it is to parents and patients. It teaches professionals how to treat eating disorder cases effectively, and enhances their work with patients by offering “homework” tasks for assignment to stimulate self-awareness and self-care between therapy sessions. The book offers patients a springboard for personal insight, while offering opportunities for patient and parent to initiate creative dialogues.
Most importantly, the book speaks personally to professionals to stimulate their own self awareness of personal issues that could potentially interfere with their ability to recognize and address the issues of weight management and self and body image. It offers professionals the opportunity to become skilled at handling difficult treatment issues such as dealing with patient resistance, transference, confidentiality and privacy concerns and tricky interactions with parents of child patients.
