Approximately 14 million women in the United States are battling with the
disease Anorexia Nervosa, AN, which is described as “one of the least
understood and most intractable of all mental illnesses” (Schindehette, Sandler,
Nelson and Seaman, 2003, p. 136). Many of the victims of this disease will battle
it for the rest of their lives. However, if AN is diagnosed early, during the teen
years, it is possible to cure it with appropriate treatment (Cooper, 2001).
Therefore, adolescent women struggling with AN need effective treatment, and
today, after four decades of research, there is an increasing number of treatment
options ranging from counseling, to nutritional therapy, to medication. Yet, some
researchers and victims still advocate that there is a need for further research in
this area (Kaplan, 2002; Hendricks, 2003).
