DESCRIPTION
Family-based treatment (FBT) is considered the first-line treatment for adolescents with anorexia nervosa (Attia and Davis, 2019; Hornberger et al., 2021; Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine, 2022). FBT has consistently demonstrated its efficacy over the past thirty years. Research has shown a decrease in hospitalizations for children and teens (Wallis et al., 2007) and an accompanied decrease in healthcare costs (Le, L. K. et al., 2017). This program was designed for clinicians who have experience treating eating disorders in children and adolescents. It will detail the foundational principles and the three phases of FBT. Clinicians will be able to identify when FBT is indicated and assess family and patient’s appropriateness for FBT.
