Brief Summary:
Anorexia Nervosa (AN) has the highest mortality rate compared to any other psychiatric disorder. The most promising treatment for adolescents with AN is family-based treatment (FBT). However, only 50% of patients receiving FBT fully remit at 12-month follow-up. Consequently, providing an alternative therapy early in the treatment course for those not responding to FBT may enhance overall outcome. This study aims to develop a new treatment - Intensive Family-Focused Treatment (IFT) - to improve outcomes in those adolescents, aged 12-18 years, who do not show an early response to FBT.

|---|---|
|
Experimental: Psychotherapy
Family-Based Therapy (12 sessions)
|
Behavioral: Family-Based Therapy (FBT)
12 sessions of FBT over the course of 6 months. |

Experimental: Family-Based Therapy with Intensive Family-Focused Treatment
The patient will receive 4 sessions of Family-Based therapy, and if the participant does not make adequate weight gain within this time period, will be assigned to Intensive Family-Focused Therapy (IFT).
|
Behavioral: Family-Based Therapy with Intensive Family-Focused treatment
FBT for 4 weeks then Intensive Family-Focused treatment (IFT) should the participant not make adequate weight progress within the time frame. |
