Family Therapy and Anorexia Nervosa : Which is the Best Approach?
Sponsor: Institut Mutualiste Montsouris
Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the implementation of Multiple Family Therapy (MFT) within a multi-disciplinary treatment program for Anorexia Nervosa (AN) in adolescence is at least as effective in terms of clinical Body Mass Index evolution as single Systemic Family Therapy (SyFT) after 12 months of treatment. We expect that these two techniques will not differ in terms of global efficacy, but that MFT could be more suitable for certain profiles who may be less responsive to SyFT.
