3 Treatment Techniques for Eating Disorders

  • Weight restoration

    It is important for the patient to be linked to a nutritionist and physician to increase weight. In some cases, depending on severity, hospitalization may be required.

  • Problem solving

    This involves identifying the problem, understanding the causes, which would lead to resolution.

  • Group therapy

    Group therapy can be a good forum to educate patients on important topics that may not be addressed elsewhere, such as nutrition, medical consequences of laxative abuse, or assertiveness techniques. This saves individual therapy time for more personalized and deeper issues. Group members also educate each other from their varied experiences in identifying and solving problems.
