I would hope that all institutions place a huge emphasis on individual attention. That is possibly the most important factor in any treatment program: making sure the individual is given the greatest amount of attention. If they didn't do that, patients would probably feel like those caring for them didn't actually care at all.

I would say that is the mindset of many sufferers of both bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa. I can't convince her that she actually needs to gain weight. As far as her body weight is concerned, if she gained 10-15 pounds, she would be just fine. Of course, she is still malnourished, but I think if the former is taken care of, the latter should follow.
