INFORMATION
The studies in this course explore various aspects of treating eating disorders in adolescents and adults. They compare family-based treatment (FBT) and supportive psychotherapy (SPT) for bulimia nervosa, identify predictors of recovery from anorexia nervosa (AN), and discuss innovative approaches like multifamily therapy (MFT) and the cognitive-behavioral couple-based approach UCAN. Overall, these studies underscore the importance of tailored interventions, targeting factors like vomiting, anxiety, and impulsivity, to improve outcomes for individuals with eating disorders across different age groups.\
