Abstract
ObjectiveThe goal of this study was to provide pilot clinical data on the effectiveness of an intensive outpatient treatment model for adolescent eating disorders that combines Maudsley‐based family therapy and group dialectical behavior therapy skills training.MethodMeasures of physical and psychological status were gathered upon admission, discharge, and at 3 follow‐up intervals.ResultsAdolescents who completed the program gained a significant amount of weight and experienced a significant decrease in eating disorder psychopathology. At the 1‐year follow‐up, 64% of adolescents were weight restored and menstruating normally. Measures of eating disorder psychopathology continued to improve up to a year after treatment.ConclusionsThis pilot, multimodal program warrants further investigation and may be an effective intermediate level of care treatment option for adolescent eating disorders.
