Psychosocial interventions in feeding and eating disorders: the experience of arts on prescription and museum visits
Abstract
This review summarizes the principal aspects of psychosocial interventions in mental health problems and in detail in Feeding and Eating Disorders. Feeding and Eating Disorders represent a major public health problem and therefore it is necessary to maximize therapeutic and preventive efforts. Social prescribing, a mechanism for linking patients in primary care with non-medical sources of support within the community social factors, may represent a good strategy to cope with social factors involved in the onset and the maintenance of the disorder in order to ensure long-term effectiveness. Arts on prescribing and Museum on prescribing defined as the use of artistic activities or museum visits for therapeutic purposes seem particularly suitable interventions in patients with Feeding and Eating Disorders.
