To describe the development of a novel couple-based cognitive-behavioral intervention for adult anorexia nervosa (AN) called Uniting Couples (in the treatment of) Anorexia Nervosa (UCAN).
We review the state of the science for the treatment of adult AN, the nature of relationships in AN, our model of couple functioning in AN, and the development of the UCAN intervention.
We present the UCAN treatment for patients with AN and their partners and discuss important considerations in the delivery of the intervention.
With further evaluation, we expect that UCAN will emerge to be an effective, acceptable, disseminable, and developmentally tailored intervention that will serve to improve both core AN pathology as well as couple functioning.
描述一种新的基于夫妻的认知行为干预方法,用于治疗成人厌食症(AN),称为“联合夫妻治疗厌食症(UCAN)”。
我们回顾了成人 AN 治疗的科学现状、AN 中关系的本质、我们在 AN 中对夫妻功能的模型,以及 UCAN 干预措施的发展。
我们提出了针对 AN 患者及其伴侣的 UCAN 治疗方法,并讨论了干预措施实施中的重要考虑因素。
随着进一步的评估,我们预计 UCAN 将成为一种有效、可接受、可推广和发展性适应的干预措施,既能改善核心 AN 病理,又能改善夫妻功能。
