Compulsory treatment is complicated for AN because there are no instrumental treatments.  Any intervention that is imposed upon the sufferer will impinge and likely create vicious circles.  However, sometimes compulsory treatment buys time, but it does not make the problems building a usable treatment alliance go away.  Splitting is another complication that can arise and it is important to realize that where there are judgments that someone or something is good there are also judgments that certain things are equally as bad.  To make splitting less likely it is important to include regular discussions between team members and pay active attention to the interpersonal aspects of care in good times and bad.  It is important to emphasis the sufferer as an active agent and the helper should not portray their role as the means and circumstance for change, but as the of motive power.
