Anorexia nervosa ist eine der schwersten psychischen Erkrankungen mit einem Sterblichkeitsrisiko, das etwa sechsfach höher ist als in der Allgemeinbevölkerung.In dem vorliegenden Band wird ein Behandlungskonzept für die Therapie schwerer und schwerster Anorexia nervosa vorgestellt, das auf einer geschützten Station der Klinik für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München entwickelt wurde. Ziel der Behandlung ist eine Gewichtszunahme von 700-1000 g pro Woche und ein BMI von 17kg/m2.Einleitend werden Daten zur Erkrankung sowie seelische und körperliche Veränderungen bei Untergewicht und deren Veränderung bei einem Refeeding dargestellt und folgend das Behandlungskonzept für diese PatientInnen beschrieben. Die Klärung der rechtlichen Grundlage der Behandlung ist ebenso Teil des Konzeptes wie die Anlage einer perkutanen Magensonde zur Unterstützung der Ernährung sowie ein Therapievertrag mit Verknüpfung von Gewicht und verschiedenen Therapiemöglichkeiten.

Annette Schaub This book is to honor Michael J. Goldstein Ph. D. , Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of California, who passed away in 1997. Mike was known for his caring, humanistic, and hope-inspiring approach to helping patients and their relatives cope with severe psychiatric illnesses, and for the support, warmth, and open-mindedness he showed in his relationships with col­ leagues and visitors from all over the world. Mike's humor, his optimism that social science could be used to better the human condition, and his conviction that patients, relatives, and clinicians could work collaboratively to manage psychiatric illness and improve the lives of all involved, were an inspiration to everyone he touched. Furthermore, because of the nature of Mike's work, his research has had a tremendous influence on many who never knew him, and the clinical innovations he helped develop have improved the lives of countless patients and families, and will no doubt continue to help many in the future. While Mike's work lives on, we and many others will miss his friendship and uplifting spirit he engendered in all of us. On April 28, 1997, the faculty center at the University of California, Los Angeles organized a program in memory of Mike. After this meeting it was suggested that a symposium be dedicated to Mike at the next World conference. He had initiated, organized and supported many studies in clinical psychology and psychiatry, so it seemed fitting that one should be organized in his memory.
