"Clearly your daughter has a problem... But your daughter is not interested in treatment right now. So my recommendation is to find a good family therapist who specializes in eating disorders. And go as a whole family understanding that everyone needs help to make changes in the way your family is functioning."Gottlieb also suggested that the mother seek help for her own anxieties, which resulted from a childhood spent covering up her sister's eating disorder.
