‘It takes a village’: patient lived experiences of residential treatment for an eating disorder by Rebekah Rankin, Janet Conti, Lucie Ramjan, Phillipa Hay

“…Despite the complexities of treatment experiences, participant narratives underscored how recovery may be more about the reclamation of a sense of identity outside of the eating disorder than merely symptom improvement. As such, adopting person-centred and recovery-oriented treatment approaches within residential treatment settings may maximise individual autonomy and promote holistic recovery pathways. …”
