Unfortunately re-feeding her is not the answer, though nutrition will play a huge part in her therapy.  She needs a licensed therapist who has experience working with anorexic patients and possibly a team approach - doctor/therapist/dietician.  Sometimes in patient care is necessary.  I would check out NEDA by googling the organization.  they may be able to offer you a referral.
