Self-admission: A New Treatment Approach for Patients With Severe Eating Disorders

Participants are given a contract whereby they are offered the possibility to admit themselves at will to the inpatient ward at the Stockholm Centre for Eating Disorders for a maximum of seven consecutive days at a time. They are also free to discharge themselves at any time. The participants may use this opportunity as often as they want to for a period of one year, or longer if the contract is renewed after one year.
