Abstract
ABSTRACTSubclinical eating disorders are more common than eating disorders, but far less understood. Despite knowledge that the larger socio-cultural context contributes to the maintenance of eating disorders, little is known regarding how feminist-informed factors can serve as protective mechanisms for women with subclinical eating disorders. This article utilized the feminist-relational model to provide a conceptualization of the symbiotic relationship between feminist-informed protective factors, suggesting through supportive relationships, individuals experience increased empowerment and agency to cope with their subclinical symptoms. Implications for family therapists are discussed, including therapeutic tasks and questions informed by narrative therapy and the feminist-relational model.
