Cognitive behavioral therapy may reduce relapse risk for adults with AN after weight restoration , although its efficacy in the underweight state remains unknown .
Variants of family therapy are efficacious in adolescents , but not in adults .
Evidence for AN treatment is weak ; evidence for treatment-related harms and factors associated with efficacy of treatment are weak ; and evidence for differential outcome by sociodemographic factors is nonexistent .
OBJECTIVE The RTI International-University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Evidence -based Practice Center ( RTI-UNC EPC ) systematic ally review ed evidence on efficacy of treatment for anorexia nervosa ( AN ) , harms associated with treatments , factors associated with treatment efficacy , and differential outcome by sociodemographic characteristics .
A controlled trial of cognitive-behavioural and behavioural treatment of anorexia nervosa.
This study was undertaken to investigate whether a cognitive-behavioural treatment procedure was superior to a st and ard behavioural treatment , in the outpatient therapy of patients with anorexia nervosa . The two treatments were also compared with a control treatment procedure consisting of routine outpatient management .  Each group consisted of eight subjects . All the groups showed some improvement , but the findings did not provide support for the prediction that cognitive-behavioural treatment , design ed specifically to manipulate both attitudes and behaviour , was superior to the other types of treatment . The implication s of the findings are considered
