The Stockholm Solution – 35min. documentary
treating eating disorders
See full film here: www.booserver.com February 2005 Is a century of psychoanalysis completely wrong? Ever since Freud, eating disorders have been considered psychiatric ailments. A revolutionary theory has turned this on its head. A Stockholm clinic is asserting that diseases such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia are not psychiatric illnesses at all, which means they require radically different treatment. In defiance of conventional medicine, the clinic offers what may well be the World’s first ever cure.

KennedyCorey-To answer your question, in order to develop anorexia one has a genetic predisposition to it. People with Huntington’s or some cancers aren’t born with it, but with the genetic make up to possibly contract it in the future, same for anorexia.
The media has sadly warped people’s perception of the illness. It is a brain disorder not a vanity problem, I suffered for 5 years and was helped to recovery by Mandometer. I didn’t want to be ill but I couldn’t change w/ out lots of support. -

I don’t agree with their way of treating these disordered people. Tracking whether or not they are eating too slowly or normally is not going to contribute to finding a cure to bulimia and anorexia. It IS a mental disorder, as the victims think they things of themselves that may not be true, which can lead to a full blown mental disorder.

I think this is bull crap. I’ve had an eating disorder for about 3 years and I think this is complete bullshit. Recovering from an eating disorder has to be about the psychological, as well as the physical aspects. A lot of the times anorexia and blimia and te rest of the worlds unhealthy relationships with food and dieting develope without havig to do with food at all, merely a coping mechanism.

no…I never said anything like that…?
I’m not talking about being fat. I’m talking about having an eating disorder that screws up your body so badly you don’t even know when you *should* eat, and can’t recognize fullness, so either you don’t stop or you don’t eat enough. The full feeling is uncomfortable and strange in the early stages of recovery.
And actually, google Binge Eating Disorder or Compulsive Overeating. Those ARE EDs, though not what I was referring to. -

Looks like a good clinic. But what is the new here? Psychopharmaca meds are being used by many ED-recovery clinics all over the world… Is there something I’ve overlooked?
@omgnuub … Swedish pronunciation is actually one of the better, no need to be ashamed… Ever heard Danish people speaking English? Or Japanese? Or Indian or Namibian? The list goes on…
Don’t be a nuub, and stick to the topic at hand! Who cares about pronunciation when people are in risk of dying!! -

too simple! while severe ED patients do need to relearn how to eat, this does not address the issues that caused them to start starving in the first place or the trauma they may experienced after. it gives them no alternate coping skills. also, i find it interesting that it cuts off right when they are going to tell the actual research numbers and details… it appears you must pay to view the rest. interesting indeed.

I went there, it did help, I’m not cured but it DID help.. I relapsed later but I must point out that it is not in an offensive manor that they speak of the disorder.
The staff are wonderful and I made lots of friends here,
