Ellyn Satter,
MS, RD, LCSW, BCD is an internationally recognized authority
on eating and feeding. A Registered Dietitian and holder
of the Diplomat in Clinical Social Work, Satter has a private
psychotherapy practice specializing in psychodynamic psychotherapy
and in the symptom management of eating disorders. Her books,
journal and magazine articles, teaching materials, seminars
and media interviews have made her well-known to the lay
public, professionals and the media as the leading authority
on nutrition and feeding of infants and children. Satter's
stated mission is to revolutionize feeding and eating. Her
unconventional advice? Do what comes naturally. "As
long as adults do their jobs with feeding, children do a
good job with eating. They intuitively eat the right amount
of food to grow well. They naturally push themselves along
to learn to like new foods. We did too, at one time. We
did, that is, until it was educated out of us by well-meaning
adults and misguided, puritanical rules about eating."
Satter knows whereof she speaks, given her 35 years experience
helping people of all ages with their eating and with feeding
their children.
Satter's clear and vivid explanations of
normal and distorted eating and feeding have made her a
popular interviewee and speaker. The author of the division
of responsibility in feeding (parents are responsible for
the what, when and where of feeding, children are responsible
for the how much and whether of eating), Satter has led
nutrition, health and mental health professionals as well
as the general public to adopt wise and emotionally healthy
approaches to feeding and eating. Satter's crossover books
are valued by both professional and lay readers as authoritative,
practical, humorous and entertaining. Child of Mine; Feeding
with Love and Good Sense (Bull Publishing) helps parents
learn to observe and understand their children and translate
that sensitivity into good feeding. Secrets of Feeding a
Healthy Family (Kelcy Press) teaches fast, efficient, delicious
and nutritious food management for the "thinking cook"
How to Get Your Kid to Eat...But Not Too Much (Bull Publishing)
details the issues of solving feeding problems.
