DESCRIPTION:Many people with anorexia nervosa feel they have to be in contr
 ol of their lives but others may think the disorder is taking charge. In so
 me cases\, it is necessary for parents\, doctors\, clinicians and psychiatr
 ists to intervene and manage the situation. When treatment beckons\, who's 
 really in control: the patient\, the carer\, the psychiatrist or the illnes
 s? Treatment strategies for anorexia nervosa can range from force-feeding\,
  through admissions and treatment without parental agreement\, to the use o
 f incentives and methods to motivate people to want to have treatment for t
 hemselves. Should sufferers be encouraged to take control of their own deci
 sions rather than be told by others what they should do? 
\n
\nWho is reall
 y controlling who? New research in neuroscience may offer interesting insig
 hts into these questions. Join our guests to discuss who should make the de
 cisions when life is in the balance.

 me at King's Cross 'Russell Unit' headed by Dr Paul Robinson. It is the fir
