Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 08/21/09
Varchol L et al. – Although the majority of studies about psychotherapy approaches for eating disorders focus on adult women, there is a growing body of research on effective treatments for an adolescent population. Family–based treatment (the 'Maudsley method') and supportive psychotherapy appear to be promising approaches for anorexia in teens. Treatments for bulimia yield extremely high relapse rates, but cognitive–behavioral therapy and family–based treatment are favored modalities. Dialectical behavior therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy may also be applicable to adolescent bulimia and binge eating. Most psychotherapists draw upon a variety of these treatment approaches, depending upon the patient's unique presentation. Regardless of the modality used, some degree of family involvement is important in limiting dropout and improving outcomes.
