Abstract
Hospitalisation in a psychiatry ward is one of the oldest treatments for anorexia nervosa (AN); however the therapeutic modalities and indications for inpatient care have evolved considerably over the last century. In this article, we will present the clinical arguments from the international literature that are used to determine the type of treatment ward in which patients with AN should be hospitalised. Then we will discuss our belief that ideally, all patients with AN needing hospitalisation should cared for in a specialised psychiatry department, even though patients are usually hospitalised because of somatic manifestations of the disorder. Finally, in order to illustrate our point, we present the example of our treatment program at the “Institut Mutualiste Montsouris” before concluding.
