    Abstract

    Establishing realistic weight goals and their effective use in treatment is an integral part of management in anorexia nervosa. However, the processes involved are discussed rarely in the clinical and research literature. Various methods for setting target weights are reviewed, with consideration of the relative merits of their application in the treatment of pre-pubertal children and adolescents with anorexia nervosa.
