Though the disturbed body image is an essential phenomenon of anorexia nervosa, hardly any specific attempts are described to alter the way these patients experience their bodies. The authors present a body-oriented treatment method aimed at curbing hyperactivity, rebuilding a realistic self-concept, learning to enjoy one’s own body, and developing social skills. The therapy is a mixture of different techniques among which video-confrontation appears to be an important element.
