Many therapists who work with eating disordered clients on an outpatient basis may interface with an inpatient program at some point in their work. This paper is designed to acquaint the outpatient therapist with the advantages of an in-hospital program. It will also help to familiarize the reader with the scope of hospital services so that a specific program can be evaluated. Furthermore, by acquainting the outpatient therapist with adjunctive treatments, it may encourage the development of broader treatment programs for the more seriously disordered clients.
