2. To learn how achieving “wise-minded” approaches in the treatment of a client with an eating disorder represents a parallel process with parents who are attempting to relate to their child in more effective ways, both in terms of food and emotional interactions.
3. To understand how recovery from an eating disorder is similar to optimal adolescent development.
