Families, Carers and Professionals

Families, Carers and Professionals by Smith

The lack of practical information available to the families of vulnerable individuals - and sometimes a similar lack of resources for the professionals who deal with them - can lead to frustration and in some cases tragedy.

"Professionals can use this practical handbook when working with families"  (SSTI, 2007)

"This is essential reading for all professionals involved in the care of patients with challenging behaviour..." (Booktopia, 2007)

"This book will help you communicate effectively with your loved one even when faced with very challenging and extreme behaviour!"  (The Tonbridge and West Kent Eating Disorders Support Group for Carers, 2007)

Grainne Smith is a former Head Teacher, based in North East Scotland. When her daughter developed anorexia and bulimia nervosa, Grainne became her main carer, and wrote Anorexia and Bulimia in the Family (published by Wiley in 2004) about her experiences to help other carers. Since then she has spoken about the role of carers and families at a number of professional conferences, and has collaborated with academics and practitioners on various eating disorders initiatives, including preparing a CD-ROM for use by professionals and families.
