Abstract

RUIZ-MARTINEZ, ANA OLIVIA et al. Family Functioning in the Risk and Protection of the Eating Disorders. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2010, vol.9, n.2, pp.447-455. ISSN 1657-9267.

Objective: We analyzed the elements of the family functioning that explain the risk and protection of the ED: Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN) and Eating Disorder Non-Specific (EDNOS). Method: Seventy patients with ED (16 AN, 24 BN and 30 EDNOS) and 30 female students were interviewed and completed three questionnaires: FES, EAT and BULIT. Results: The ED patients (AN, BN and EDNOS) perceived the expression was a risk factor and the intellectual-cultural activities were protection factor. In the group of ED Specific (AN and BN) the organization was a risk factor and actuation was protector factor. Conclusion: The results confirmed differences in the family functioning between types of ED Specific and Non-Specific.
