“…Two common findings are (i) an intense, ambivalent, rivalrous relationship with the nearest in age sibling whether older or younger, whether brother or sister and (ii) an expectation that the patient would relate well with a close in age sister who was of incompatible personality" (p. 266). Engel and Hohne (1989) conducted a standardized interview in 33 severely ill anorexia nervosa patients and in 111 normal female controls: their answers on questions about intrafamilial relations were rated from 0 (no disturbance) to 4 (very severe disturbance). Two items of this interview concerned sibling rivalry and sibling relationship and both were rated rather positively with no divergence between the groups.…”

Increased attention has been drawn in recent years to the importance of the father in the genesis of anorexia nervosa. Four types of fathers were identified and investigated by comparing, under this aspect, fathers of 96 most severely affected patients with those of Ill families of a representative normal group. The investigation showed significant differences with regard to the ‘bonding’ and the ‘brutal’ father, whereas the ‘weak’ and the ‘absent’ father showed no significantly different values; the latter was even more frequent in the Unormal population. The results shall be discussed with regard to anorexia nervosa therapy

The Structured Interview for Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa (SIAB) was developed as a semi‐standardized interview for reliable and valid assessment of specific as well as general psychopathology and of family interaction and pathology in eating disorders. Principal components analyses (PCA) with varimax rotation produced the following six components for the psychopathology scale (SIAB‐P): (1) body‐image and ideal of slimness; (2) social integration and sexuality; (3) depression; (4) compulsion and anxiety; (5) bulimic symptoms, and (6) laxative abuse. The family interaction and pathology scale (SIAB‐FAM) produced the four components: (1) parental marital dissatisfaction; (2) achievement orientation and performance expectancy; (3) rigidity and disturbed family interactions; and (4) family closeness and enmeshment. High interrater reliability and high internal consistency where established for the present (Cronbach's alpha = 0.93) and for the past symptom expression in the SIAB‐psychopathology scale and the SIAB‐FAM. The alpha coefficients indicated a satisfactory degree of internal consistency also for each subscale of the SIAB‐P and the SIAB‐FAM. Results of the principle components analyses with rotation are presented for 346 eating‐disordered patients and 111 healthy community controls. For the purpose of validation, correlations with subscales of a self‐rating scale for eating disorders [Anorexia Nervosa Inventory for Self‐rating (ANIS)] and an interview for eating disorders [Eating Disorder Examination (EDE)] are presented. DSM‐III‐R and ICD 10 diagnoses for eating disorders can be directly derived from the SIAB‐P.
