Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Randomized, controlled trials have consistently shown that the Maudsley Hospital approach (also known as family-based treatment) is the most effective approach for treating anorexia nervosa, particularly in adolescents. This approach involves parents as active participants in the treatment, helping to restore and support their child's healthy eating behavior. Group therapy and structural family therapy have also been studied, but the evidence for their effectiveness is less clear. Medications may be used to treat co-occurring conditions, but are not generally effective as a stand-alone treatment for anorexia nervosa.
