Shifting Perspectives: Enhancing Outcomes in Adolescent Anorexia Nervosa With Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cognitive Remediation Therapy and Family Based Treatment for Anorexia Nervosa. Completed, enrolled 177 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Anorexia Nervosa is a serious life-threatening illness with a typical age of onset in adolescence; if not effectively treated, it has the potential to significantly impact adolescent development and quality of life. Research on executive functioning in anorexia nervosa indicates that it may be a viable target for intervention that could improve outcome. The current project focuses on determining whether or not the investigators can improve set-shifting in parents and affected adolescents in the hopes that improvements in set-shifting will, ultimately, improve outcome.

Interventions
Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) is an adjunctive treatment focused on increasing set-shifting ability and developing meta-cognition.
Family Based Treatment (FBT) is an evidence based treatment in which parents are responsible for adolescent re-nourishment. They play an active role in treatment and their self-efficacy to make decisions regarding their child's treatment is empowered.
