For the daycenter:

'Treatment-as-usual? (TAU) lasts 6-9 months and is multidisciplinary in nature. Patients follow a 4-day program. The module aggression regulation is a regular part of this program, but is only offered to 2 patients at a time (TAU + module: condition A). The other patients follow the regular program (only TAU: condition B). The module consists of 6 weekly sessions of 1 hour.

If time allows, patients in the control condition may follow the module later on, after a waiting period.



For the outpatient clinic:

Regularly patients with eating disorders will be offered a diet-group but this group only starts after 6-7 weeks. The module will be offered during this waitingperiod. One group will follow the module and afterward the dietgroup (Module+ TAU; group A), one group will enter the dietgroup after the regular waitingperiod (waitingperiod + TAU; group B).
