Incorporating Narrative Into the Treatment of Youth With Anorexia Nervosa (Virtual)
Incorporating Narrative Into the Treatment of Youth With Anorexia Nervosa
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a narrative medicine (NM) curriculum can enhance self-expression, reflection, and resilience in adolescents and young adults with anorexia nervosa.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does participation in an NM curriculum improve self-expression and reflection in individuals with anorexia nervosa?
- Does engaging in creative writing and group discussion promote resilience and emotional processing in this population?
Participants will be 16-25 years old, medically stable for outpatient eating disorder therapy, and actively engaged in treatment. Those with active suicidal ideation, recent non-suicidal self-injury, or a co-occurring personality disorder will not be eligible.
Participants will:
- Attend six weekly workshops focused on themes such as self-definition, kindness, resilience, and possibility
- Engage in close reading of visual or written texts
- Complete creative writing exercises in response to prompts
- Participate in group discussions and sharing
An optional capstone reading event will provide a supportive space for participants to share their work with peers, loved ones, and providers, fostering connection and community.
This study aims to explore the role of narrative medicine in eating disorder treatment and assess its potential benefits for psychological well-being and self-expression.
