Matching patient variables to treatment intensity. The continuum of care.
This article has reviewed what is currently known regarding the relationship between specific patient variables and treatment response in AN, BN, and BED. Matching patient variables to treatment intensity remains an important and fruitful area for future research. There is a need for established guidelines for clinicians regarding the choice of the appropriateness of treatment settings and type of interventions delivered in those settings. These guidelines should be evidence based, with clear clinical indicators for each of the recognized eating disorders and their subclinical variants.
