Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to test a new procedure of body image therapy in anorexia nervosa, using the anamorphic micro software.

Description:

Anorexia nervosa is a severe psychiatric disorder, with high level of mortality and hospitalization is often necessary for the treatment of severe and/or chronic cases.

Anorexic patients often experience a serious disturbance in body and their own shape perception. Body image work should be enhanced in the treatment of anorexia nervosa.
