Document Summary
Chapter 9: psychological treatments and cognitive behavioral therapies. Treatments for eating disorders often involve medical as well a psychological and behavioral therapies. Although many people never seek help of any kind, for those who do seek treatment, it can restore them back to normal eating patterns and bring them back to a healthy lifestyle. Men are just as likely as women to complete inpatient treatment, though men do not follow through as well with the outpatient treatment. Patients who suffer from anorexia nervosa reach out for support much more often than patients with bulimia nervosa. Many patients are put on a waitlist and continue in outpatient care when they really require an inpatient program. Residential treatment is similar to inpatient treatment. Residential services can be private, for-profit or non-for-profit, and establish their own programs for treatment and determine their own desired outcomes for discharge or termination.
