Updates on Treatments for Adolescent Anorexia Nervosa

James Lock. Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am. 2019 Oct.

Abstract

This article provides background information, descriptions, and evidential support for the more recent treatments for adolescents with anorexia nervosa, including family-based treatment, adolescent focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, systemic family therapy, and psychopharmacologic treatments. At this time, family-based treatment has the best evidence of efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Future directions in treatment research for adolescent anorexia nervosa are discussed.
