Core Tip	This paper presents an alternative explanation conspicuously lacking in the literature as to the scarce evidence concerning the efficacy of psychotherapy in anorexia nervosa. The absence of data supporting a particular treatment undermines the basic tenets underlying the theory on which it is grounded, or is at least a defective translation of the theory into the “dos” and “don’ts” of manualized treatment. This assertion is elucidated by recent research on a placebo and non-specific treatment that was found to be more effective than a number of specialized treatments.
