ctive, research-based treatments. Now we know that it's much more developmentally healthy to keep these kids in the community if at all possible and to involve their family in the re-feeding and recovery process." Physicians at the Eating Disorders Program carefully monitor the medical status of outpatients to ensure they stay medically safe while undergoing treatment.

Ongoing research has been part of the eating disorders program since its inception. In addition to a large-scale comparison of family-based and individually-oriented treatment, Lock and his colleagues are researching two types of family therapy-one focused on symptoms and weight restoration, and one on family processes. They are also conducting a recently funded study to investigate the effectiveness of a treatment called Cognitive Remediation Therapy that targets the thinking style of patients with eating disorders.

"CRT is a highly innovative approach to anorexia nervosa," said Lock. The study also includes additional treatment using cognitive and interpersonal therapy. Subjects enrolled in the study receive treatment free of charge.

Other research projects focus on brain imaging in eating-disordered patients, the management of osteoporosis in anorexia nervosa, how adolescent sufferers use Internet sites that promote eating disorders and how differences in gender and ethnicity affect eating disorder symptoms.
