AB  - This paper describes the structured integration of Homebound Instruction (HI) within a residential intensive programme for eating disorders based on enhanced cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT-E). In this context, the protection of the right to education is conceptualised not only as a regulatory requirement but also as a clinically meaningful component of treatment.
Observational data collected at the Centro Terapeutico Villa del Principe since the implementation of HI show that all school-age patients who completed the programme maintained educational continuity. The integration of HI appeared to be associated with improved engagement in treatment, support of cognitive and executive functioning, and preservation of global functioning.
Within an intensive CBT-E framework, educational continuity can be considered an integral part of the therapeutic programme, contributing to the broadening of the patient’s scheme for self-evaluation beyond shape, weight, and their control to include other, developmentally appropriate domains.
