“Dave is a father who was deeply involved with his daughter’s recovery over a period of years, and this book is chock-full of wisdom based on that experience. His book is a first-hand account of concrete and well-organized advice and skills that can be easily used by other parents and professionals. When you read this book, you feel like you have Dave as a parent support. I strongly recommend this to any parent or professional who finds themself guiding a child/teen through recovery.”

“A diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa is accompanied by a steep learning curve for parents and caregivers. Love, Crowd Out, Forgive, Accept can help parents get on top of that learning curve to help their child navigate the path to recovery. The information is extremely easy to read and digest, and I love how comments from the author’s daughter are woven throughout the book. It offers readers a broader perspective, additional dimension, an interesting balance—and, at times, heartbreaking honesty and authenticity.”

“Voices of lived experience are vital to understanding what it is like to live with, and fight, an eating disorder. Taken together, the insights of Dave Dunn and his daughter Kara are invaluable in integrating current information on eating disorders and offer a perspective that is rarely heard—that of a father and daughter sharing their collective and individual experiences and the powerful lessons they have gained on their journey.”

“Love, Crowd Out, Forgive, Accept has helped tremendously in my work with teens and families struggling with Anorexia. It has helped me to better explain the FBT treatment process and what to expect from the parent and teen perspective. It has also helped me better understand Anorexia and what my clients are experiencing in their homes.”
