Walter Kaye, MD
New Insights into the Neurobiology of Eating Disorders: What Families Should Know
Genetically-influenced personality traits and powerful neurobiological drives play an important part in eating disorders. Understanding these processes helps families develop insights into the symptoms that occur in ED, so they are better able to understand, interact, and shape more adaptive coping strategies. In addition, such insights are important for providing the foundation necessary to develop more effective treatments. Read more about Dr. Kaye here.


Daniel le Grange, PhD
Family-Based Treatment for Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa: The Maudsley Approach
Families can play an active and positive role in treatment for anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Understand the scientific support for family-based treatment and learn specific strategies families can use. Read more about Professor le Grange here.
