Talk:Maudsley family therapy

Treating obesity within the family context is not necessarily "Maudsley family therapy" The University of Chicago and Mount Sinai are currently evaluating a 3 phased treatment adaptation of Maudsley FBT that begins with parental oversight and gradually transitions to greater independence. The Chicago and Sinai trial of FBT adapted for pediatric overweight does not assume psychiatric disorder.

Family treatment does not equal Maudsley and obesity does not equal BED. I think you create confusion by mixing these topics. Obesity, in and of itself, is not an eating disorder. It can, and often does, exist in the absence of binge eating disorder. In addition, many individuals with binge eating disorder fall within the normal weight range.

I wrote a pretty sarcastic response, but I deleted it, so i'll just say "Okay" 7mike5000 (talk) 13:29, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lumping together family interventions, mislabelling them, and suggesting research supports application for problems they haven't been evaluated for does a disservice to people seeking accurate information. There are good resources on Maudsley family-based treatment. This article is not one of them, due to your sloppiness. Noni9 (talk) 17:35, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the compliment, it's much appreciated."Okay"(: According to recent studies based upon years of research: "4 out of 5 dentists surveyed would recommend sugarless gum to their patients who chew gum." 7mike5000 (talk) 21:24, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Give me a chance to finish writing it before slapping a "speedy deletion" tag on it please. 7mike5000 (talk) 07:02, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
