What is Family-Based Therapy (FBT)?

Family-Based Therapy (FBT) or FBT-informed therapy is a highly structured treatment approach used primarily for treating adolescents with eating disorders. FBT involves the family as a crucial component in the treatment process, empowering parents or caretakers to take an active role in their child's recovery.

What are the principles of FBT?

The therapy's primary focus is on parental empowerment, giving parents the tools and support needed to guide their child towards healthy eating patterns. The approach also addresses interpersonal dynamics that may influence the eating disorder.

What are the outcomes of FBT?

FBT has been shown to be particularly effective in eating disorder treatment for adolescents, often resulting in high rates of recovery and relapse prevention.
