Family Based Treatment (FBT) or Maudsley treatment is a research-based treatment for Anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). The family-based treatment approach emphasizes the essential role parents can play in helping an adolescent or child overcome AN or BN. This evidence-based treatment method assumes that the teen is no longer functioning adequately at the adolescent level and needs assistance to return to normal development. In this situation, the parents’ role becomes focused on demonstrating they are committed to helping the teen resume healthy psychosocial development by temporarily and respectfully adopting a more involved role to address the immediate health needs of the child. In this form of treatment, the therapist functions as a coach to the parents to help them work with the adolescent to achieve improved eating habits that will result in restoration to a healthy weight range.
