Abstract

Many patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) who undergo therapy benefit from acute treatment, achieve weight gain, and improve their eating disorder symptoms. However, AN is characterized by a high risk of relapse. Up to about half of treated patients experience a relapse, often within the first year after therapy ends. Treatment and care concepts specifically aimed at preventing relapses can improve the course of AN. These include guided self-help, psychotherapy, and therapeutic residential groups.
