Summary:The management of anorexia nervosa (AN) remains complex with insufficient success rates. Based on clinical and empirical observations implicating neuropsychological difficulties in AN, cognitive remediation (CR) therapy appears to show positive effects. Nevertheless, these results remain subject to debate as some studies do not show this improvement, or in the case of positive improvements, a smaller effect size on cognitive performance. A possible explanation could lie in the cognitive tests used to assess CR. The aim of this study is to propose a new protocol for the evaluation of cognitive remediation for patients suffering from ED through the presentation of a case study.
