“…Although the research literature on EDs is characterized by certain inconclusiveness (Balottin et al, 2017) as well as specific trends (von Ranson, 2008), various investigators report selected factors shared by both anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) patients. Individuals with AN and BN are often characterized by: perfectionism and scrupulousness (Joiner et al, 1997; von Ranson, 2008; Forsén Mantilla et al, 2017; Johnston et al, 2018), negative core beliefs about food and eating (Cooper and Hunt, 1998), body dissatisfaction (Troisi et al, 2006; Blodgett Salafia et al, 2015), self-criticism and low SE (Forsén Mantilla et al, 2017), alienation, shyness and social withdrawal (Leonidas and Dos Santos, 2017), shame and guilt (Burney and Irwin, 2000; Keith et al, 2009; Duffy and Henkel, 2016), anxiety (Egan et al, 2013; Stewart et al, 2015), alexithymia (Montebarocci et al, 2006; Pace et al, 2015), and perception of worse forms of family functioning (FF) (Keery et al, 2006).…”

The aim of the study was to measure whether people at increased risk for eating disorders (EDs) and people without an increased risk of EDs differ from each other in the assessment of family functioning (FF) and self-esteem (SE) dimensions. Moreover, the correlations between FF, EDs, and SE were verified, looking for the mediating role of SE in the context of the FF and EDs. The research was conducted on the group of 160 people aged from 18 to 47 years, including 74 people at increased risk for EDs. We used: The Family APGAR (Adaptability, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve); The SCOFF Questionnaire; The Multidimensional Self-Esteem Inventory, MSEI. Analyses indicate that the compared groups differ significantly in terms of EDs, assessment of FF, and all components of SE, in such a way that people without an increased risk of EDs are characterized by a more positive assessment of FF and higher SE in all its dimensions. All SE dimensions, except defensive high SE, are mediators in the relationship of FF with EDs. In therapeutic interactions, it is worth focusing on the SE dimensions, as they are one of the mediation elements in the relationship between the assessment of FF and EDs.

“…Na AN a negação é compreendida como uma tentativa malsucedida de dar sustentação ao desejo de ter sua individualidade, seu pensamento próprio, ou mesmo como um modo de aniquilação desse desejo (Leonidas, & Santos, 2017), e isso pode ser pensado não como uma aberração, mas como um paradoxo fecundo. Sob o olhar psicanalítico, nos TA não se nega somente a condição de estar doente.…”

Resumo Este estudo teve por objetivo compreender os significados do abandono do tratamento para pacientes com transtornos alimentares (TA), acompanhados em um serviço especializado. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritivo-exploratória e transversal, com delineamento qualitativo. Participaram deste estudo seis mulheres com idades entre 19 e 37 anos, solteiras, profissionalmente ativas e com diagnóstico de TA. Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais, cujo conteúdo audiogravado foi posteriormente submetido à análise de conteúdo temática. Os motivos do abandono incluíram questionamentos relativos ao protocolo de tratamento, à equipe terapêutica, além de questões pessoais. Os aspectos multifatoriais envolvidos na dinâmica do abandono do tratamento indicam a necessidade de maior capacitação dos profissionais de saúde, especialmente no que concerne ao estabelecimento da aliança terapêutica e acolhimento empático para incrementar a adesão do paciente ao plano terapêutico. O conhecimento dos fatores apontados como desencadeadores de abandono pode contribuir para identificar precocemente indivíduos em risco e implementar medidas terapêuticas que resultem em melhor prognóstico.

“…Anorexia nervosa has a studied negative impact on a person's health succeeding in serious physical limitations, signi cantly reducing the number of live quality years and increasing the risk of suicide behaviors (Beveridge et al, 2019;Fisher et al, 2014;Leonidas & Santos, 2017;Watson et al, 2019) Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) was included in the DSM-5 in 2013, which is why there is less research in this area (Le et al, 2017;Nicely et al, 2014;Norris et al, 2016). It can develop in children, adolescents or adults and has speci c clinical diagnostic criteria (American Psychiatric Association, 2013;Cooney et al, 2018;Seetharaman & Fields, 2020).…”

This study aimed to analyze the perception that individuals have of the success promoting factors on their own therapeutic process. Intended to understand which aspects influenced their perception and which factors were considered relevant to the decision to seek help, not to abandon treatment and their motivation to change. The study involved patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and Avoiding Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), with intervention within the scope of different therapeutic models.Background: In Portugal, anorexia nervosa is one of the eating disorders with a significant increase in recent years, having been responsible for 4,485 hospitalizations between 2000 and 2014, in Portuguese public health services. Portugal has scarce research in eating disorders although they are a serious mental health problem both in this country as in Europe. Methods: The study included a sample of 9 participants who responded to the request for participation posted on the different electronic platforms. The data recollection occurred thought a semi-structured interview and the information was subjected to thematic analysisResults: This study included a total of 9 participants, 5 with a diagnose of AN and 4 with a diagnose of ARFID. All the participants were women with ages between 19 and 52 years of age (an average of 38.4 years). Similarities were found in both group for and differences.Discussion: The desire to improve/not cause suffering to family members and the availability of social/emotional support were considered relevant aspects inherent to the client. 100% of the participants considered that certain professional and personal qualities of the professional/therapist was the most relevant aspect to promote the success of the therapeutic intervention. The sample size of this study is small and therefore does not allow generalizations.Conclusions: The main objective of this study was to obtain knowledge that would allow professionals to reflect on their practice and adapt the intervention to the needs and concerns of the clients. Despite the limitations of the study, our participants provided detailed and relevant information, so we consider the results obtained to be pertinent for the proposed objective. Further research in these areas is needed to deepen the knowledge.
