Author
Abstract
:

Inpatient treatment for patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) is recommended in extreme or severe cases after failure of outpatient treatment and is highly effective. However, a number of patients show symptom increase and relapse after discharge. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a therapist-guided smartphone-based aftercare intervention for inpatients with AN to support symptom stabilization.
