No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the current study is to investigate the role of Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) as a pre-treatment intervention for adolescents who are hospitalized for Anorexia Nervosa (AN). The primary aims are to determine if CRT can result in greater treatment engagement post-discharge, increased rate of weight gain post-discharge, reduction in symptom accommodation, and increased behavioral flexibility in adolescents and parents.

Conditions

  • Anorexia Nervosa

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

CRT + Teach the Parent

CRT sessions will occur for 45-60 minutes every day (excluding weekends) for 6-8 days while adolescents are in hospital. Adolescents will be given homework and asked to practice tasks each day.

BEHAVIORAL

CRT + Contact Control

Adolescents will be asked to spend 3-4 sessions with their parents engaging in fun activities (games, coloring, trivia). Adolescents will be able to choose 2 tasks from a list and be asked to engage in those tasks with their parents.
