Two different psychological interventions of 20 individual sessions each plus four follow-up meetings, two sessions with close others and two sessions with a dietician:
1. Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults (MANTRA): This is a manualised cognitive-interpersonal treatment which focuses on addressing four key maintaining factors of anorexia nervosa
2. Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM): This manualised treatment is designed to be delivered by health professionals trained in the treatment of eating disorders and aims "to mimic outpatient treatment that could be offered to individuals with AN in usual clinical practice"

Total duration of treatment is 6 months and total duration of follow-up is also 6 months (after the end of treatment). This is the same for both treatments.
