Abstract: | This review examines family therapy as an effective intervention for Anorexia Nervosa (AN) in adolescents. An electronic and
manual literature search was conducted. Studies pertaining to family therapy in the treatment of AN and specifically, the
Maudsley Method/Family-Based Treatment were identified. A limited number of randomized control trials exist implicating family
therapy. Of the existent studies, methodological limitations pertaining to small, homogeneous sample sizes are evident. Despite
the limited number of studies, family therapy appears to illustrate probable efficacy. Additional research and funding are
necessary to fully support family therapy in the treatment of AN in adolescents. |
