Abstract
Despite a notable burgeoning of empirical research over the last decade, eating disorders (ED) remain notoriously difficult to treat. Where treatment gains do occur, initial optimism often fades and ‘revolving door’ patients can become the mainstay of specialist services. Patients typically present with a heterogeneous array of cognitive, behavioural, emotional, physiological and interpersonal maintenance factors. They can generate high anxiety in carers and clinicians desperate to offer support but often finding themselves overwhelmed and paralysed by the demands of the illness.
