Brief Summary
Anorexia Nervosa inpatient treatment has often a short-term success as weight is restored to a healthy level, but high percentage of patients relapse during the first year following the discharge. The development of strategies to overcome this problem represents a priority for clinicians. Aim of this trial is to evaluate the effects of a relapse prevention program based on cognitive dissonance theory developed for hospitalized patients.
