“…To meet these goals, groups at ISIS consist of a maximum of 12 women and a 3 hour weekly session co‐facilitated over an 18–20 week period. Both the length of the sessions and the period of the group work reflect both feminist practice and therapeutic approaches to eating issues more generally, which emphasise long‐term therapeutic intervention as necessary to respond effectively to women with eating issues (Dana & Lawrence 1987; Garner et al 1997; Mckisack & Waller 1997; Mohamed & Smith 1997). Typically sessions comprise of a check‐in, group building exercises, focus topics, a woman's story and a wind down.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy of feminist group work for women with eating issues. Data for the study is drawn from participants involved in five therapeutic groups at the community based organisation, ISIS Centre for Women's Action on Eating Issues 1 . Participants in this study completed the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) before and after group work and also responded to a postgroup questionnaire which elicited their experiences of group work. Background information about ISIS and the model of group work at ISIS is provided. Following this, the EDI completed by participants and the post-group questionnaire are examined. The data reveals that feminist group work is a valuable therapeutic intervention for women with eating issues. The key to the effectiveness of group work is that it provides a curative culture.
