Our aim is to present clinical results achieved with an intensive treatment programme for severe anorexia nervosa (AN) patients at risk of severe disability or death. Aims of the treatment are to remove life threatening conditions, physical and nutritional rehabilitation, and psychological and relational rehabilitation. ⋯ Our results seem to provide strong support for using a highly structured program for treating patients with severe AN, including inpatient care and multidisciplinary medical and psychological teams specialized in eating disorder treatment.
