Mental Health & Social Care Bulletin No. 402

There is a large section this week in Bulletin No. 402 on eating disorders. There is a new systematic review on the effect of motivation on treatment outcome. There were two articles on the parent equation in eating disorders; one focussing on the relationship with the therapist and the other examined the difference between parent-child reporting of symptom severity. Back at the Depatment of Health a consultation has been launched to help resolve the problem of a fair funding system for social care.
