The Heidelberg-Mannheim Study: Long-Term Follow-up of Anorexia Nervosa Patients at the University Medical Center — Background and Preliminary Results

  • Chapter

Abstract

More than two decades ago, one of us (E.P.) at the Heidelberg University Medical Center began to develop an interest in the clinical picture of anorexia nervosa. Soon after, in addition to methods of individual and group therapy, family assessment and family therapy were applied and developed (Petzold 1979). The specific organizational structure of the Psychosomatic Department at the Heidelberg University Hospital in the early 1970s made it possible to develop an examination and treatment concept which would meet the manifold clinical needs of a hospital geared to regional care. As such, this approach differed greatly in its structure from the many established psychosomatic facilities as well as from the “clinics for eating disorders” whose number has been steadily increasing in Germany in recent years.
