"A superb treatment manual. Tara Deliberto and Dina Hirsch are
remarkable for their concise analysis of treatment for eating
disorders in adolescents. IMT is an exciting and compelling tool
for the patient, carer, and clinician. I congratulate the authors
on their groundbreaking understanding of these very complex and
deadly mental illnesses."
--Donna M. Friedman, MS, LPC, founder of the MUSC Friedman
Center for Eating Disorders at the Medical University of South
Carolina--Donna M. Friedman, MS, LPC
"A truly comprehensive guide in the treatment of eating disorders
during adolescence--their most common period of onset. Deliberto
and Hirsch seamlessly integrate the core components from several
treatment modalities into one extensive manual, and with their own
pearls of clinical wisdom interspersed throughout, this is a
must-read for anyone involved in the treatment of eating
disorders."

University of California, San Francisco; NIMH-funded researcher;
and coeditor of Clinical Handbook of Complex and Atypical Eating
Disorders and Innovations in Family Therapy for Eating
Disorders--Stuart B. Murray, PhD
"At last! A practical, systematic, and evidence-based approach that
breaks down the complexities of treating a complex mental illness,
and turns confusion into confidence for clinicians, parents, and
patients. By systematically engaging carers, this method also
educates and incites the adolescent to fight against their own
eating disorder."

dietitian in Alaska, working primarily in eating disorders
treatment through a private practice: Nutrition Partnership,
LLC--Grace Ray Schumacher, RD, CEDRD
"Eating disorder recovery is a long and challenging process, and
we've had far too few treatment tools that are accessible to
patients and families. The IMT program changes this, integrating
our leading evidence-based therapies into easy-to-understand
language and resources for patients, families, and providers in the
trenches. IMT should be a go-to resource for those looking to
recover, or to help others recover, from an eating disorder."
--Kristina Saffran, CEO of ProjectHEAL--Kristina Saffran
"I am impressed at the lengths the authors went to in soliciting
input from parents who successfully helped their child with an
eating disorder to recover. They have synthesized components from
several evidence-based treatment models into a manualized approach,
presenting information in an accessible manner that prioritizes
practical solutions to improve the clinical-caregiver feedback and
direction loop to provide the best chance for full recovery to
patients/clients. IMT is a promising and accessible format enabling
a wide variety of clinicians to deliver state-of-the-art
understanding and resources to families impacted by the devastation
of an eating disorder diagnosis."
--JD Ouellette, is a parent expert and activist/advocate in
the field of eating disorders, and board member of Families
Empowered and Supporting Treatment of Eating Disorders
(F.E.A.S.T.)--JD Ouellette
"It isn't often that I see a resource as thorough, spot-on, and
hopeful as the Integrative Modalities Therapy (IMT) books. Without
a doubt, this is what my family and I needed when I was struggling
at a young age. I highly recommend IMT and will continue to do so
for years to come!"
--Jenni Schaefer, author of Life Without Ed;
Goodbye Ed, Hello Me; and Almost Anorexic--Jenni
Schaefer
"This book is a godsend for clinicians working in the trenches with
people who have eating disorders. This work offers a clear,
comprehensive, step-by-step guide to help clients and caregivers
effectively fight back against eating disorders. The main modality
used by the authors is IMT, which offers a welcomed integration of
evidence-based individual, group, and family therapies into the
treatment of eating disorders."
--L. James Climenhage, PhD, adjunct professor at the
University of Northern British Columbia, and mental health
clinician at Child and Youth Mental Health--L. James Climenhage,
PhD
"This book is an invaluable resource for clinicians treating
adolescent eating disorders. Not only have two expert clinicians
described their experience with interventions, they have pulled
together materials and resources that will help engage patients in
the therapy process. Adolescent eating disorders can be difficult
to treat--this book is like having an expert clinical supervisor
always available to answer the inevitable, 'what do I do
next?'"
