Treatment of Anorexia Nervosa in Children and Adolescents: An Integrated Family Based and Metacognitive Approach

Sponsor: Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the treatment effects of an integrated treatment called Family-based and Metacognitive therapy for patients with Anorexia Nervosa. In addition, we will evaluate if an active follow-up of the patients will reduce the number of relapses, which is common during the 1 year after discharge. Fifty patients aged 12-18 years old and their parents will be invited to participate in this study and all will receive the same treatment but be randomly allocated to different follow-up conditions. The active follow-up includes 3 sessions of Metacognitive therapy and the passive follow-up includes ordinary follow-up, with no booster sessions. The patients will be assessed at baseline, pre-treatment, post-treatment, and at 6 and 12 months follow-up.
