It is especially difficult to be the parent of an adult child with an eating disorder as the options become more limited, but there are still some things you can do. There is an excellent book we recommend for all family members to read, which is entitled "Surviving and Eating Disorder - Strategies for Family and Friends" bu Michele Siegel, Ph.D. Judith Brisman, Ph.D. and Margot Weinshel, M.S.W. I would be happy to talk to you offline to discuss other options you have, both to gain some support for yourself (as it is so very difficult to watch your daughter harm herself in this way) and in gaining more support for your daughter. You can reach me via phone at our main number 410-938-5252 or via email at info@sheppardpratt.org Rori-

She is obsessed by it and won't go anywhere without her type of food. It's all she can talk about. She came home for a visit and I was shocked to see how thin she had become. She is also obsessed with exercising and wakes up before sunrise to ride her bike up and down the mountains in her Japanese village. She quietly reported to me that she hasn't had a period in over a year. I emailed this article with the accompanying quiz. Is there anything else I can do? I am a very concerned Mother and even though she is 28, I still am a Mom and a very worried one. My oldest daughter who lives in Japan has been practicing to an unhealthy exteme a macrobiotic diet.

When adults are in denial about their own eating disorder, they can be in a position to deny the eating disorder symptoms in their child or children. One of the powerful and moving moments that occur in my work as a psychotherapist is when a woman, who never sought treatment for her own eating disorder, comes in for psychotherapy for the sake of her child. She couldn't rally her strength for her own well being. But when she is pregnant or has a young child she finds courage and determination to do her own work in order to protect her child from developing an eating disorder. Often, a child has already begun to develop symptoms, but often too, not always, but often when the mother works on her own healing she is in a better position to support healing in her child. Thank you for bringing this important topic to the public. I hope your work helps parents in denial to face the eating disorders in the family and move to get necessary treatment. warm regards, Joanna Poppink, MFT Los Angeles, CA Dear Dr. Treasure,

You are bringing to light a most important, valuable and sensitive topic. When adults are in denial about their own eating disorder, they can be in a position to deny the eating disorder symptoms in their child or children.

One of the powerful and moving moments that occur in my work as a psychotherapist is when a woman, who never sought treatment for her own eating disorder, comes in for psychotherapy for the sake of her child. She couldn’t rally her strength for her own well being.

But when she is pregnant or has a young child she finds courage and determination to do her own work in order to protect her child from developing an eating disorder.

Often, a child has already begun to develop symptoms, but often too, not always, but often when the mother works on her own healing she is in a better position to support healing in her child.

Thank you for bringing this important topic to the public. I hope your work helps parents in denial to face the eating disorders in the family and move to get necessary treatment.
