The end of session interventions of the 14 sessions of a treatment of a case of anorexia nervosa in a boy with systemic family therapy demonstrate how they are constructed to fit the system so they can address certain areas of ambivalence to effect the intended change of the family organization. This goal has been reached and the illness has been removed, as is proved by a follow-up 7 years after the end of the treatment.
