    When Family-Based Treatment Stalls: Can We Adapt Earlier and More Precisely?

    Family-Based Treatment (FBT) has the strongest evidence base among psychological treatments for adolescents with anorexia nervosa, yet a substantial proportion of young people do not achieve full recovery.

    Case conceptualisation is central to psychological practice. It helps clinicians organise information, understand how a person’s difficulties may have developed and been maintained, and decide what treatment would be adequate. However, conceptualisations can become overly intuitive, static, or disconnected from both assessment evidence and treatment research. Christon, McLeod, and Jensen-Doss (2015) propose a science-informed approach designed to connect evidence-based assessment with evidence-based treatment.
