Abstract
Anorexia nervosa has become a common condition. Treatment regimes are now well defined and outcome criteria can be clearly stated. The achievement of biological maturity is a necessary condition of good outcome. Experience and outcome research with some three hundred and forty patients and their families has furthered knowledge of factors which affect prognosis.Keywords
