Background:

  • Borderline personality disorder treatment standard: Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
  • DBT principles: balancing acceptance and change.
  • DBT's potential application in other psychiatric disorders, including anorexia nervosa.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explain the fundamental principles of DBT for adolescent anorexia nervosa.
  • To report on clinical experiences and effectiveness of DBT in treating this population.

Main Methods:

  • Review of DBT principles and their adaptation for anorexia nervosa.
  • Reporting of clinical observations and experiences with DBT in adolescent patients.

Main Results:

  • DBT offers a valuable set of tools for treating anorexia nervosa.
  • Positive clinical experiences suggest DBT's effectiveness in increasing treatment motivation.
  • Lack of randomized controlled trial evidence currently exists.

Conclusions:

  • DBT presents a promising therapeutic approach for adolescent anorexia nervosa.
  • Further research, particularly randomized controlled trials, is necessary to establish robust evidence for DBT's efficacy in this patient group.
