There is however areas of general consensus
about many necessary and desirable tasks of assessment
and given the above constraints it often falls to the
specialist clinician working in relative isolation to be well
versed in all factors pertinent to a comprehensive assessment.
Focusing primarily on adult populations, this paper
aims to reduce the gap between research and practice
(as it relates to assessment of AN) by firstly providing a
comprehensive review of the current literature relating
to assessment pathways, barriers to assessment, diagnostic
issues, instruments for assessment of illness and
severity, role of the family at assessment, comorbid presentations
relevant to assessment, medical, nutritional
and compulsory assessment practises. Secondly, it discusses
the process of synthesising information gathered
at assessment for the purposes of formulation and
ultimately to direct treatment.
