2. Family approaches are effective with children and adolescents with illness duration of less than 3 years. The Maudsley model approach is the best-studied approach and occurs in an outpatient setting with 10-20 family sessions spaced out over 6 to 12 months. The recommended format is conjoint during the initial phase, with directed parental authority that is coached on effective means of controlling the child or adolescent's eating and weight. A gradual reduction in parental authority is directed as the child or adolescent complies with expectations.
