Título: Análisis de la psicopatología familiar como herramienta terapéutica. Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio es averiguar el grado de psicopatología que presentan los pacientes con un Trastorno de la Conducta Alimentaria (TCA) y en qué grado está acompañado por la presencia de psicopatología en madres y padres de los pacientes. Se seleccionaron tres grupos de 30 pacientes cada uno con Anorexia Nerviosa, Bulimia Nerviosa y TCA No especificado y un grupo control (y sus madres y padres). Se aplicó un cuestionario socio-demográfico y la escala SCL-90-R que mide nueve dimensiones de psicopatología de pacientes, madres y padres, en los cuatro grupos. El análisis de datos se realizó con una ANOVA de dos factores con medidas parcialmente repetidas en cada subescala de la SCL-90-R. Las comparaciones múltiples entre los grupos dentro de cada medida repetida se realizaron con la prueba de Sidak. Los pacientes de los tres grupos clínicos obtuvieron diferencias significativas en todas las variables psicopatológicas frente al grupo control, menos en ansiedad fóbica. Este cuadro clínico fue acompañado por cierto grado de psicopatología de las madres pero no de los padres. La presencia de altos niveles de psicopatología en los tres grupos de pacientes y en las madres tiene implicaciones terapéuticas que marcan la necesidad de la intervención psicológica en las pacientes y en sus madres. Palabras clave: Psicopatología; trastornos conducta alimentaria; familia; SCL-90-R. Abstract:The objective of this study is to find out the degree of psychopathology which patients with an eating disorder present (ED) and to which degree this is accompanied by the presence of psychopathology in mothers and fathers of patients. Three groups of patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), and eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS) and a control group were selected. Each group had 30 participants (and mothers and fathers). A socio-demographic questionnaire and the SCL-90-R were applied. This scale measured nine dimensions of psychopathology in patients, mothers and fathers. An ANOVA of partially repeated measures with two factors was applied to each dimension of SCL-90-R. Multiple comparisons between groups within each of the repeated measures were carried out with Sidak test. Patients in three clinical groups obtained significant differences in all psychopathological variables compared with the control group, except in phobic anxiety. These clinical results were accompanied by some degree of psychopathology in mothers but not fathers. The presence of high levels of psychopathology in the three groups of patients and mothers has therapeutic implications that indicate the need for psychological intervention in patients and their mothers.
