Evidence-based Treatment
Kartini Clinic pioneered the medical model of pediatric eating disorder treatment. When we began treating children in 1998 very few programs even acknowledged eating disorders to be biologically based, much less provided evidence-based treatment for them. Fortunately, scientific evidence is now unequivocal. Eating disorders are biological illnesses of the brain. They are not a flight from trauma, a socio-economic syndrome, or a creation of our popular culture. At Kartini Clinic we don’t believe that “underlying psychological factors” explain the causes or symptoms of eating disorders, and the best available scientific evidence also does not support this out-dated – but still prevalent – theory.
Today Kartini Clinic is once again at the forefront of treatment innovation through the use of cutting-edge pharmacogenomic and metabolic testing, combined with our proven clinical track record of weight restoration and experience in treating more than 3000 children.
