Even after apparently successful inpatient treatment, there is often a recurrence of loss of body substance after the inpatient stay. This could also be because patients do not yet sufficiently use coping strategies that they learnt during treatment and which need to be continued to maintain the success of treatment. This paper provides an overview of the research on the extent to which patients continue to use coping strategies and how effective these coping strategies are in terms of long-term disease management. The use of meal plans, exposure, weight monitoring and appreciation (self-reinforcement) as well as working with a relapse prevention plan are identified as effective coping strategies. These strategies are explained in more detail and possible applications are presented as suggestions for practitioners. Conveying these coping strategies as part of the treatment and their independent continuation by the patients could lead to more sustainable therapeutic effects. Finally, the limitations of current findings and research desiderata are discussed.deuAnorexia Nervosa NachbehandlungRückfallprophylaxeBewältigungskompetenzengeleitete SelbsthilfeSelbstmanagementarticle10.1007/s00278-025-00813-1
