Brief Summary

Parents with eating disorders exhibit greater concerns and dilemmas about developing healthy habits in their children. Studies indicate that the offspring of parents with eating disorders have more developmental and interpersonal difficulties. Consequently, these parents should receive personalized care to enhance their parental capacity and support them in their decision making process. The Parent-Based Prevention of Eating Disorders (PBP) is a promising intervention that may help improve feeding and eating practices and children outcomes, by engaging both parents in a short-term program. This study aims to empirically evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of PBP over a wait-list control group (i.e., treatment-as-usual) in a Randomized Case Series Trial.

Parent based prevention

EXPERIMENTAL

Parent-Based Prevention (PBP; Sadeh-Sharvit \& Lock, 2018) is a manualized preventive intervention, focused on increasing parental awareness and competence to facilitate healthy eating habits, body image, and self-regulation in children whose parent has an eating disorder history. PBP is comprised of three phases that focus on unique goals. The strategies in each session include psycho-education, behavioral experiment planning, and skill practicing to augment parents' insight into how the context of the parental cognitions and behaviors may impact child outcomes, with the goal of creating a longstanding effect.

Behavioral: Parent-based prevention

Usual care

NO INTERVENTION

Families randomized to usual care will be permitted to utilize any medical, psychological, or nutritional services they desire for the waitlist period of 16 weeks.

Interventions

Parent-based prevention BEHAVIORAL

Parent-based prevention is a 12 session program for parents with eating disorders and their partners. Most sessions occur on a weekly basis, most of the sessions involve both partners.
