✦ Synopsis

A pilot study of a brief sex education programme and its evaluation as part of the in-patient treatment of individuals with anorexia nervosa is reported. The raison d'e Ãtre for such a programme is presented. Within the overall treatment context, the programme proved acceptable to the patients. Its delivery was associated with increased knowledge and attitude change in some subjects. With some con®dence the former could be attributed speci®cally to the programme. This outcome invites further controlled study of the process, preferably with a longer speci®c programme and follow-up and within an out-patient or day hospital psychotherapeutic setting that allows the individual greater freedom and opportunity for social interaction.
