Abstract
Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric disorder occurring primarily in young women. Especially when chronic or the body mass index is less than 12 kg/m(2), it has a mortality of up to 20%. Often these patients are admitted to emergency units and treated internistically. If they accept psychiatric treatment, they are normally transferred to specialized psychosomatic units for further therapy. If patients are not able to accept necessary further therapy to overcome the danger to health and life, the question arises in terms of guardianship law of whether they are able to handle their personal concerns alone. After several vitally endangered anorexia nervosa patients had been admitted to our closed psychiatric ward, we developed a therapeutic concept for this subgroup of patients, taking the possibilities of guardianship law into account. This concept aims at restoring the body weight continuously and finally enable the patients to be transferred to less restrictive psychosomatic units. The chosen treatment is shown with the therapy courses of 25 patients treated according to this concept.
