“…Attempts to identify typical anorectic parents and family interactions have produced inconsistent findings (Crisp, Hsu, Harding, & Hartshorn, 1980;Kalucy, Crisp, Lacey, & Harding, 1977). For example, Yager (1982) describes the typical anorectic parents as rigid, overprotective, extremely achievement-oriented and image-conscious parents.…”

“…However, the very diversity of patient presentation makes it difficult to argue that there is a typical family that produces that syndrome. Other studies have pointed to different family profiles, with variations in emotional involvement of the family members and in the ability to resolve conflict (Hall, 1978;Crisp, Hsu, Harding, & Hartshorn, 1980;Kog & Vandereycken, 1985).…”

“…Additional questions that have been raised in the literature involve demographic variables. Anorexia is predominantly thought to occur in the "upper middle," "professional," and "managerial" classes (Morgan & Russell, 1975;Crisp, Hsu, Harding, & Hartshorn, 1980;Crisp, Palmer, & Kalucy, 1976;Hall, 1978), although there are a few studies that cite cases among working-class women (Crisp et al, op cit;Crisp, 1983;Kalucy, Crisp, & Harding, 1977). It is unclear whether this skew reflects actual class differences or a difference in the willingness of families of varying class backgrounds to seek psychiatric help (Morgan & Russell, 1975).…”

For the purposes of this study, eating disturbances were placed on a continuum ranging from disordered to normal, and family factors were examined via this framework.Research on anorectics and bulimics indicates that a variety of family variables contribute to the etiology of eating disorders. Research suggests the presence of a subgroup of persons who experience some 2 disturbance in their relationships with food but not to the severity observed among eating disordered individuals.This study examined the relationship between family factors and eating disturbances.A sample of male and female college students (overall n=l68, male sample n=78, female sample n=90) was drawn from four undergraduate psychology courses at a large urban

“…The contribution of the rigid and perfectionist overgeneraliz ing cognitive style and extreme submission have both been sufficiently illustrated [5]. Social reinforcement exerted on the patient by the family and by close friends, trying to push her into accepting food, contributes to the problem, making the patient take further steps to feel she is not being influenced by others and so making matters worse.…”

The paper reports on the clinical characteristics, treatment and results of a group of 41 patients suffering from anorexia nervosa. All patients were diagnosed according to DSM-III criteria. Mean age was 18.6 years, within a range from 12 to 33 years. The group was formed by 40 female patients and 1 male. Twenty-nine percent of the patients had previously received treatment. Duration of treatment fell within a range of 10–36 months, 18–24 being the most frequent. Forty-four and a half percent of the patients were admitted to hospital with a 59-day mean time of hospitalization and treatment was positive in over 80% of cases. Two patients suffered a relapse during the first 2 or 3 years, but later recovered. Five years after the beginning of treatment, 1 patient suffered a relapse and received supplementary treatment.

“…Sperling and Massing [13,14] especially addressed the question of the uni lateral dominance distribution in favor of the female element within the 'anorexia family', emphasizing the weak father who is often artificially supported. He plays no con spicuous role in essential tasks and deci sions, is scarcely concerned about family problems [15], shows no concern for the daughter [16] or has a reserved attitude vis-à-vis her [17], His life is one of withdrawal and resignation [14], he has no goals but does not demand achievement from others, either. His needs (e.g.…”

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
