Food Exposure Therapy and Ritual Prevention with Motivational Enhancement for Relapse Prevention in Anorexia Nervosa (AN-EX/RP)

AN-EX/RP will consist of in-session exposures to feared eating situations without using avoidance behaviors as well as formal motivational interviewing techniques.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

CBT for anorexia nervosa sessions will focus on behaviorally normalizing eating patterns throughout the day and on cognitively addressing dysfunctional thinking that promotes disordered eating.
