Topic
Eating disorders
Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, are serious conditions for which treatments have proven effective, and early care is recommended. The resources in this topic explain the vicious circles that keep them going, for example food restriction that makes binges more likely, and offer guidance to the people affected and to their parents. They accompany medical and psychological care without replacing it.

For the public
Anorexia: a guide for parents
Your child is eating less and less, cuts everything into tiny pieces, goes running before breakfast, and every meal ends in tears or in silence. This guide explains what anorexia nervosa is, why your teenager cannot simply start eating again, and why parents, who are not its cause, are at the heart of the treatment with the strongest evidence. It describes step by step how to get through meals, what helps and what harms, and which signs call for urgent medical advice.
Binge eating and bulimia
Eating a great deal, fast, without being able to stop, then the shame, the promises, and the next day spent making up for it. This guide explains what a binge really is, why dietary restriction is its main fuel, and how to break out of the circle: eating regularly, observing without judging yourself, defusing the triggers, and finding a liveable relationship with your body and with food again.
For professionals
These manuals are written for psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health practitioners. Anyone can read a preview; the full text is reserved for practitioners who have submitted proof of their professional status and who hold a professional plan.
Anorexia nervosa: a therapist's manual
A twenty-session protocol, session by session, for anorexia nervosa in adults, with a substantial section on adolescents and family-based treatment. First, shared medical follow-up and the right level of care, because somatic risk cannot be seen in session. Then ambivalence treated as the object of the work and not as a prerequisite, open weighing in session, regular eating resumed with the doctor and the dietitian, and in-depth work on the overevaluation of weight and shape, perfectionism, emotions and relationships. Legal framework, teamwork, comorbidities, the limited place of medication, worksheets to hand over and full references.
Bulimia and binge-eating disorder: a therapist's manual
A twelve-session protocol, session by session, for bulimia and binge-eating disorder in adults. First medical safety, then the only thing that really counts at the start: restoring regular eating, because it is restriction that produces the binges. Then the withdrawal of compensatory behaviours, the lifting of dietary rules, the reintroduction of avoided foods, and the underlying work on the overvaluation of shape and on body checking. The question of weight, emotional triggers, those close to the person, worksheets to hand over and full references.
