EBT Review: Family Therapy for Adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa Wilmington University Overview of Problem Area Anorexia Nervosa Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder that causes people to obsess about their weight and the food they eat. People with anorexia nervosa attempt to maintain a weight that's far below normal for their age and height. To prevent weight gain or to continue losing weight, people with anorexia nervosa may starve themselves or exercise excessively ("Anorexia nervosa," 2012). Because this disorder is difficult to treat, a variety of treatment options are available, but family therapy is a component of each.
