Family Based Treatment Providers USA, Australia, and Canada ★ Therapists certified in family-based treatment by the Training Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders are designated by a star. The Institute offers different levels of training for those interested in FBT. A two-day training conveys the basic principles of FBT. Therapists can go on to pursue certification, which includes 25 hours of supervision and case reviews.
Some therapists offer FBT without going through the certification. And not all certified therapists offer FBT in every case. Feel free to ask any treatment provider for his or her training in FBT and philosophy about using it.

Dr. Starr Kelton-Locke has been a practicing psychologist in the field of eating disorders for 20 years.Her training in the Maudsley method began in 2001 and includes workshops at Stanford.
("Since reading about Maudsley and learning to implement it in practice, I have worked to help families prevent hospitalization or provide continuity of care if the child has previously been admitted.My primary philosophy is to utilize the Maudsley method to empower the parents to rescue their child from the medical perils of this illness.Once the child is stabilized and able to think more clearly, the goal of treatment is to help restore the developmental trajectory. The causes of eating disorders are multi-factorial and complex.I remain agnostic about the “cause,” as our knowledge to this point has not revealed the complete etiological picture.Nevertheless, it has been my experience that Maudsley is one of the best methods of treatment to aggressively address the child/teen’s vulnerable health status and to avoid a protracted course of the illness.I consider the parents as vital to this process.My job is to help the parents use every meal and snack as an opportunity to learn what works, what does not work, and how to help their child overcome the battle inside that prevents them from eating.")
Dana S. Iyer, Ph.D. 23276 South Pointe Drive Suite 108 Laguna Hills, CA 92653 Ph: 949.701.5544 Email: drdanaiyer@yahoo.com ("Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are serious, life threatening illnesses. Traditionally, practitioners working in this area have applied the same principles of recovery to both their adult and adolescent patients. As a result, eating disorder treatment for adolescents has neglected the important role of parents in recovery. Working in the area of eating disorders for over 10 years and having received training by Drs. James Lock and Kara Fitzpatrick at Stanford, has led me to recognize that the family is an essential and necessary component in helping the adolescent recover.
In working with adolescents, I use family based therapy (FBT) to empower parents in the task of regulating their child’s eating to disable the eating disorder. Research supports that FBT demonstrates good outcome and appears to be as effective as inpatient hospitalization without the relapse that accompanies discharge from inpatient settings. If your child has been in individual treatment that has not been effective, now might be good time to try a different approach that includes you in the process.")
Attended two training workshops with James Lock and one with Daniel le Grange. Worked on a multidisciplinary team for seven years using FBT with most teens and their families.
("With teens, I find 'Maudsley' style Family Based Treatment very effective in quickly reducing dangerous symptoms and uniting the family against the eating disorder. As treatment progresses, I integrate cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and a feminist/cultural awareness approach to strengthen coping skills and prevent relapse.")

For adolescents with eating disorders, I use the Maudsley Model of Family-Based Treatment, a highly practical, empirically-supported treatment which enlists the entire family as a resource in supporting the patient’s recovery.

However, the intrusion of an eating disorder into a family often causes parents to feel helpless and hopeless that only empowers the eating disorder to cause disconnections in relationships. We offer family-based inpatient and outpatient treatment that embodies the Maudsley’s “agnostic”, non-blaming, strength-based approach. This empowers parents to help their daughter or son become more healthy and empowers the patient to take back control of her/his life. From our Rochester-based core center of the Western New York Comprehensive Care Center for Eating Disorders, we facilitate monthly support group meetings that are video-linked to Watertown, Ithaca and Binghamton. We provide community outreach, education, training and prevention services, in addition to conducting community-based prevention research.
