I think so. However, the way that caring for a child with an eating disorder works is that parents who are in the process of actually caring for their children would not be in a position to take five days away to sit in a classroom. The therapy or the treatment is actually feeding your child, and under FBT you're feeding your child six times a day. In the beginning a meal can take two or three hours or a meal could take an hour. Then you have to watch to make sure that certain things aren't happening after a meal. Having the parents out of the home for the training wouldn't work for that length of time. Linking parents to Internet training and having psycho-educational training for them that is easier to absorb in small bits is a possibility.
