Study of family therapy for teens with anorexia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how families change during a special type of therapy called multifamily therapy (where several families meet together) for teens with anorexia nervosa. The goal is to understand what helps families improve, so doctors can make treatment better.
