Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A parent who has taken over every meal can look like they're doing everything right. A teenager who has stopped arguing about food can look like they're finally getting better. Neither one tells you whether this is working - or whether the structure that helped six weeks ago is now the thing getting in the way.Growing Room is a working clinical reference for dietitians and treatment teams navigating adolescent eating-disorder care - where the target keeps moving, the family isn't optional, and "doing everything right" and "actually working" aren't always the same thing.Unlike single-model manuals, this book meets clinicians where they actually practice: coordinating with whichever family-treatment model a case is already running, reasoning through a growth trajectory instead of a single number on a chart, and making the judgment call - over and over, case by case - of how much structure an adolescent's current clinical picture actually requires, and when it's time to hand responsibility back.Inside, you'll find: - A developmental nutrition framework built around growth reconstruction, target-weight reasoning, and puberty and bone health - not just weight restoration- A clear-eyed comparison of family-treatment models (including FBT/the Maudsley approach), so you can work confidently inside whichever one a family is actually receiving- Dedicated chapters on higher-weight and atypical anorexia, ARFID and neurodivergent presentations, gender-diverse adolescents, boys and muscularity-oriented presentations, and the medical, cultural, and family-structure factors that change the plan- A full autonomy framework - including the book's "Voice Without Veto" principle - for deciding when structure should expand, hold, or contract, domain by domain- Field-ready clinician tools: an intake assessment, a caregiver-capacity map, a care-coordination matrix, consolidated session scripts, and an FBT-exit decision tool- 30 copy-ready caregiver and adolescent handouts, organized by function - psychoeducation, in-the-moment action tools, decision-support worksheets, and paired caregiver/adolescent pieces - reproducible for your own clients and familiesWritten for early-career and experienced eating-disorder RDs alike, Growing Room stays anchored in one recurring standard: give the adolescent the support their current function actually requires - no less, but also no more - and keep reassessing who needs to hold what.Educational and reference material. Not a substitute for individualized treatment.
