TI  - Family therapy versus individual therapy for adolescent females with anorexia 
      nervosa.
PG  - 111-6
AB  - Behavioral family systems therapy (BFST) was compared with ego-oriented 
      individual therapy (EOIT) in a controlled, random-assignment investigation 
      involving 22 young adolescents with anorexia nervosa. Each adolescent and her 
      parents received approximately 16 months of outpatient therapy along with a 
      common medical and dietary regimen. BFST emphasized parental control over eating 
      and weight gain, coupled with cognitive restructuring and problem-solving 
      communication training. EOIT emphasized building ego strength, adolescent 
      autonomy, and insight into the emotional blocks to eating. BFST produced greater 
      change on body-mass index than did EOIT, but both treatments produced comparable 
      improvements on eating attitudes, body shape dissatisfaction, interoceptive 
      awareness, depression/internalizing psychopathology, and eating-related family 
      conflict. The implications of these results for the clinician who treats 
      adolescents with anorexia nervosa are discussed.
