ABSTRACT
Inclusion of the family members in eating disorders (ED) treatment is a key recommendation of clinical practice guidelines
for adolescents. The aim of this study was to observe and analyze roles, interaction patterns, and emotional
response styles of family and patients, as well as the features of a menu brought to a family meal session (FMS). A
total of 13 patient’s families from the intensive outpatient program for ED participated, patients aged among 12-29
years. Two therapists filled out a family meal observation matrix and took field notes. To improve validity, data triangulation
strategies were used, including different sources of information (individual and group sessions contents)
and triangulation of techniques (observation
in vivo of FMS and a subsequent session with participants was carried
out). The analysis of thematic contents revealed that regardless the type of ED and age of the patient the presence
of avoidant behaviors in relatives and to a lesser extent, and especially in parents, aggressive, challenging or threatening
patterns. However, the discrepancy between the behavior observed in the FMS and the one reported by the
patients and their therapists was evident. In general, was observed that behavioral patterns may contribute to the
maintenance of the disease.
