Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the relationships between “parental rearing styles” and “attitude towards change” in eating disorders patients according to DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association -APA-, 1994). MethodsA total of 166 patients was evaluated: 66 (39.8%) patients met criteria for bulimia nervosa, 49 (29.5%) patients met criteria for anorexia nervosa and 51 (30.7%) patients met criteria for an eating disorder not otherwise specified. All the patients completed a set of self-administered questionnaires to evaluate their family relationships (APGAR familiar), their memories of parental upbringing and their attitudes towards change (ACTA) after one year treatment. ResultsA multiple regression analysis was performed. “overprotection” perceived during childhood was related to higher scores in “pre-contemplation” and lower scores in “action” and “maintenance”. On the other hand, “rejection” during upbringing was related to higher scores in “pre-contemplation” at one year follow-up regardless of family dysfunction. Finally, “warm” perceived was related to higher scores in “action”. ConclusionsThese results show the relevance of breeding in treatment important aspects in eating disorders patients.
