Description

Angelika Kleszczewska-Albińska presents a theoretical analysis, published in 2023, of a therapy style for teens with anorexia nervosa. The eating disorder is among the most deadly mental illnesses, strikes girls more than boys, and often starts near age 14 or 15. Current care helps too few patients. Schema Therapy, a method that works on deep emotional patterns, is the candidate she weighs.

The method blends tools from several therapy schools. It aims to raise awareness of feelings and unmet emotional needs in the patient. Its kit includes guided imagery, chair work, and a warm, parent-like stance from the therapist. Since teen eating symptoms tie closely to family life, a method that faces unmet needs head-on looks apt. Past studies in related groups give grounds for hope. The author argues the method earns a trial in this hard-to-treat group.
