Treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN) is understudied and suggests about half of people recover with a good outcome, a quarter have an intermediate outcome, and a quarter have a poor outcome.  Recovery from AN has to involve the sufferer having enough to eat to restore her weight, but also mentions that often mixed feelings surround that proposition making it a copmlex process.  Weight restoration is a short-term goal, but long term recovery is a far more complicated matter.  It is important to be flexible in the relationship with the sufferer with the ultimate underlying goal to create conditions where the sufferer no longer needs the therapeutic scaffolding.
