Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Health - Children and adolescents, , language: English, abstract: This paper will discuss family based treatment Anorexia Nervosa in Adolescence. When one family member has anorexia nervosa the whole house is affected. Hence it is very crucial for the whole family to cope with this disorder to find a solution for it. Family based treatment is basically a treatment that seeks to avoid hospitalization and makes parents interact in the process of restoring their offspring back to healthy lifestyle and in this case hence back to a healthy weight. Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that targets mainly adolescents. Females more than men are likely to have this disorder. There are many ways of treatment, some include hospitalization, and some are based on family-based treatment. In this paper I will discuss Family Based Treatment as I believe it's crucial. Family plays an important role and can help in changing their family member eating habits. Ways a family can help to change eating habits are to reduce meal anxiety, Siblings relationship, enabling new ways of understanding and relating, enhancing or maintain negative power dynamics, and vulnerable transitions. They are further discussed in the paper.
