Resource use analyses of systemic family therapy and family-based therapy (FBT) indicate that inclusion of family members through FBT may help to reduce the necessary resources for successful treatment of anorexia nervosa. In adolescent inpatient treatment, FBT was associated with ~50% of the days in hospital and ~50% of the of re-admissions of systemic family therapy. Likewise, the Parents in Charge (PIC) approach inherent to FBT, in which parents take control of adolescents' meals, was associated with 50% fewer hospital admissions, shorter hospital stays, and reduced needs for nasogastric feeding when compared against non-specific expert-driven psychoeducational family therapy. NMCC was also associated with reduced dropout rates and rescue treatments, and reduced bed use.
