Are Parents To Blame For Their Childrens Eating Disorders?

I am a psychotherapist and I work with people who have eating disorders. I agree with this article that parents don't intentionally hurt their children but I want to ask parents to do something. Please don't label your child as the "sick one". Eating disorders is a family system problem. Sometimes the eating disordered person is actually the healthiest because they are silently screaming that something is wrong here. Please come with your child to counseling. No one wants to blame you. But owning what you've done (unintentionally) is very validating and healing for the eating disordered person. This is the way to recovery. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Please visit www.eatingdisordersgroup.com
