Family-based treatment (FBT) is an effective evidence-based therapy for adolescent anorexia nervosa (AN) and is the recommended approach to treatment at the present time.1 The effectiveness of other treatments such as individual psychotherapy (ego-oriented therapy) and generic family therapy (systemic family therapy) is based on less evidence and such treatments are not as effective as FBT.1 Whether treatment involving the whole family, or a simpler treatment involving parents only, differ in effectiveness is not known. To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details.
Current evidence seems to indicate that families can play a role in supporting successful treatment outcomes for adolescents with anorexia nervosa. It is not known whether this is through providing valuable support or by addressing any causes of anorexia that are potentially rooted in family interactions. Regardless of its mechanism of action, there have been few randomised controlled trials for treatments for adolescents with anorexia nervosa. The majority of the clinical trials that do exist demonstrate that involving family members in treatment often supports more favourable outcomes than treatments with no family involvement.
