When Is the Right Time to End Family Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa (FT‐AN)?: A Qualitative Study of Young People's Experiences
Young people said that remaining in treatment for longer than necessary may impede recovery. Establishing clear expectations about discharge and recovery, helping young people to commit to ongoing behaviour change, and building their support network were all described as important components in helping them to feel confident about discharge and to take ownership of continuing the recovery journey post-discharge.
