The second goal is to map the opinions of chosen population on use of methods and techniques of social work with support their inclusion to normal life. After reaching goals research questions were set up: How mental anorexia influenced current life of women who had this illness? How can social worker support patients in remitted with inclusion to normal life? The research strategy is quantity research.

Another method of getting data was observation. Examined group were five women. Individual interviews with them were finished in winter 2016. Method of data processing was to make biographies, the second one was quality content analysis according to grounded theory. The results are presented with double ways. The first one is answers of women, the second one is their stories. From research results we can say that mental anorexia does not influence life of healed women in the vast majority of cases. From the answers we can say that these women does not want help from social workers, especially for two reasons. Women did not know where to seek for this kind of help and they would not be able to accept help from foreign people.
