New perspective on the treatment of anorexia

In the scientific journal of the Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH), UvA PhD candidate Heleen Wesselius published an article on the treatment of extreme recurrent anorexia with PRI.

The first results, measured over a longer period, seem very positive. The girls and women studied (with an extremely low BMI of 12.5-16.5) all had fewer obsessions about eating after therapy, self-mutilation decreased or stopped, suicide risks decreased and disappeared. Normal life could be resumed for all.
