I am leaving this saturday to spend some time with her in Ga. We talk regularly--she is pleased with the program and very confident of her therapist--it is hard to get a real feeling over the phone--what is most surprising to me is the persistence of the depression and her feeling of being "lost"--I actually view this as positive. When she last went through a sixty day program it was "great". everything was hopeful, and she was continually optimistic. I think some of the pain she is now experiencing is in fact reflective of what she had been really feeling but covering up with eating and alcohol. She is much more candid about her desire to drink or binge and she and her mother have had some excellent therapeutic sessions.. The big question now is working out a suitable discharge plan. I will keep you posted when I return. PS, I also think this rogram has impressed her with the seriousness of her ED and its sole in destabilizing her Thanks for asking
