The Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults (MANTRA) Scotland

The Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults (MANTRA) Training Programme. MANTRA is a structured individual psychotherapy with integrated carer support for adults with anorexia nervosa. It is based on a psychobiological model of anorexia nervosa, developed with support from the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre. It is one of three NICE-recommended therapies to be used as a first line treatment for anorexia nervosa. MANTRA training is aimed at qualified practitioners with a core mental health profession (such as psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, mental health nurses, allied health professionals and social workers) working in specialist adult or all-age eating disorder services. Service user and carer collaboration features throughout the programme, from the training design and delivery, through to evaluation and quality assurance.

Training is delivered in partnership with Maudsley Learning at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), King’s College London.
