Free Outpatient Treatment for Longstanding Anorexia Nervosa (30 individual sessions over 6 months)
The University of Sydney (in conjunction with the University of London and University of Chicago) is conducting a treatment program for females over the age of 18 who have had anorexia nervosa for more than seven years (even if there have been periods of recovery). It aims to determine which of two currently available psychological treatments have the best outcome for people with longstanding anorexia nervosa.
If you would like more information about the program, or if you are interested in taking part, please contact Rebecca Smith (Project Coordinator) at the University of Sydney.
