ObjectiveThe purpose of the current article is to review the literature regarding the use of alternative delivery systems, such as telemedicine, and new technologies, such as the use of hand‐held computers, in the treatment of patients with eating disorders.MethodThe literature is reviewed in the following areas: self‐help (supervised and unsupervised), telemedicine, telephone therapy, e‐mail, internet, computer software, CD‐ROMs, portable computers, and virtual reality techniques.ResultsA growing literature suggests a number of alternative delivery systems hold promise, in particular permitting patients to access services who otherwise would not be able to receive treatment. Although most of these areas are early in their development, a growing literature supports the utility of several of these approaches.DiscussionAlthough the literature in this area is limited, and the research base is small, a number of these technologies appear to hold substantial promise for the treatment of patients with eating disorders. © 2004 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
