Did you know that this year’s NEDA conference is practically in Gürze’s backyard? Yes! We are only about 30 miles from the Doubletree Hotel! The office is buzzing with energy as we collect books for our table at the conference, talk to authors and booksigners, and get ready to welcome so many members of the eating disorders community to our beautiful city. We encourage you to sign up for the conference, and come visit if you get a chance! View our extensive library of nearly every ED book ever written and come meet the Gürze staff; office hours are 9-5 Monday-Thursday and 9-2 on Friday. Our address is 5145 B Avenida Encinas, Carlsbad CA 92008.
It was worth the wait! The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders is finally here, and we are incredibly excited about this new release. Written by nutritionist Marcia Herrin and journalist Nancy Matsumoto, this book speaks directly to parents on how to incorporate the Maudsley method into their daily life, and how to focus on recovery at home.
We encourage you to stock up on the last of our 2007 Eating Disorder Resource Catalogues. A “blue card” mailing has been sent out to professionals, but if you haven’t received the card or would like to order by email, just send an email to Melissa@gurze.net with the quantity that you would like (25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, or more) and your mailing address.

Overview and Treatment Philosophy:
The Klarman Eating Disorders Center provides state-of-the-art treatment for eating disorders in girls and young women ages 13 to 23. Housed in its own newly renovated building on the beautiful grounds of McLean Hospital, the Center provides a unique therapeutic environment that is conducive to recovery. A balanced, comprehensive treatment approach is offered that includes an intensive residential and transitional partial hospital program with a referral network for outpatient care.
Treatment Goals:
The program is designed to support, educate and empower both patients and their families. The goals for patients include:
- Enhancing self-image and self-esteem.
- Developing skills to effectively manage problematic behaviors.
- Improving interpersonal relationships.
- Understanding the issues that underlie the eating disorders.
- Developing healthy relationships with food and body.
- Preparing to meet the challenges of life following discharge from the hospital.
The Eating Disorder Center of Denver is the only facility in Colorado that offers partial hospitalization while providing the highest level of care for adult males and females with anorexia, bulimia and related disorders. Its partial hospitalization program provides comprehensive treatment on an outpatient basis, 7 days a week, 11 hours a day. The center also offers an evening intensive outpatient program three days a week, 4 hours a day, and outpatient services/aftercare for those patients who do not require a more intensive treatment program.
A multidisciplinary team of physicians, clinicians and dietitians are dedicated to helping patients bring about change through empowerment. Working together, they create specialized treatment plans that fit each
patient’s physical, emotional, social, spiritual and nutritional needs. Patients learn to practice and internalize recovery skills until they can incorporate these behaviors into their way of life. For more information, call 866.771.0861 or visit the center's web site at www.edcdenver.com.
