Treatment of Adolescent Anorexia Nervosa Using Manualized Family-Based Treatment

James Lock

Stanford University School ofMedicine

This article reports on the treatment of an adolescent girl with anorexia nervosa using a manualized family therapy approach. The therapy used proceeds through three phases. The first phase encourages parents to take charge of refeeding their daughter while separating the illness from the patient. The second phase promotes the adolescent once again eating on her own, and the third phase aims at general adolescent issues that have been affected by anorexia nervosa. The family therapy reported on her has been shown to be effective in clinical trials and this case illustrates the basic therapeutic processes and outcomes that can be expected.

Key Words: adolescents • anorexia nervosa • family therapy • psychotherapy
