Published
From PRI, research has been taking place for many years on the effects of PRI as a therapy in clinical practice. In the scientific journal of the Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH), UvA PhD student Heleen Wesselius published an article on the treatment of extreme recurrent Anorexia Nervosa (AN) using PRI on Sept. 23.
Initial results from this preliminary study appear promising. The girls and women studied (with an extremely low BMI of 12.5-16.5) all had fewer obsessions about eating after therapy, self-mutilation decreased or stopped, suicide risks decreased and disappeared. Normal life could be resumed for all. Normal life could be resumed for all.
