Family Interactions in bulimia nervosa II: complex intrafamily comparisons and clinical significance

Article Abstract:

A study of patients undergoing therapy for bulimia nervosa through an intensive day hospital program at the Toronto General Hospital, Canada, and their families revealed the patients' appraisals of all scales of the Family Assessment Measure to be enhanced during the course of treatment, while their family members' assessment remained stable prior to and after the treatment schedule. This reflects the psychological impacts of eating disorders on the patients and indicates that they can be mitigated through effective resolution of the symptoms of abnormal food habits.
