Eating Disorders Treatment
MANTRA (Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults)
Our treatment approach for Anorexia, known as MANTRA (Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults), is designed to address the cognitive, emotional, relational, and biological factors contributing to the disorder. This therapy typically consist of 20 sessions comprising of weekly sessions for the first 10 weeks, and a flexible schedule after this, and up to 10 extra sessions for people with complex problems.
Treatment is based on the MANTRA workbook, with flexibility on how the modules are delivered and emphasised, and motivating the person and encouraging them to work with the practitioner.
When the person is ready, the therapy will cover nutrition, symptom management, and behaviour change to encourage the person to develop a 'non-anorexic identity'.
Where possible, family members or carers will be involved, to help the person understand their condition and the problems it causes and the link to the wider social context.
