A 30-year-old female patient, Ms. A, initially contacted the clinic upon the request of her primary care physician for “help managing my psyc meds.” She has a long history of anorexia nervosa and obsessive-compulsive disorder. She already has completed multiple episodes of prior treatment, including two attempts at residential eating disorder programs, a two-year inpatient certification, and several more years of participation in an eating disorder day-hospital program. Each of these past interventions resulted in brief periods of weight restoration, but, upon discharge each time, she resumed her prior behavioral patterns.\u003Cbr>At a height of 5’4”, Ms. A’s weight remains in the 60–65 pound range. She reports that she limits herself to no more 300 calories daily and typically runs up to 2 hours every day. She has incurred frequent stress fractures as well as head injuries from passing out. The most recent head injury has led her to be involuntarily hospitalized in your clinic. After achieving initial medical stabilization, your treatment team offers medication management, supportive therapy by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and the strong recommendation that Ms. A enter a longterm residential eating disorders program. Ms. A refuses to go voluntarily, and these programs do not accept patients on an involuntary basis. The treatment team determines that her physical and psychiatric impairments, if left unaddressed, are likely to lead to her death.\u003Cbr>How would you proceed?\u003Cbr>Source: Lopez, A., Yager, J., Feinstein, R.E. 2010.
