| Sumario: | The aim of this study was to assess the family functioning of those with a member diagnosed with eating Disorder (ED) and to compare with normative families according with the circumflex model. Sixteen Uruguayan families with a member in rehabilitation were assessed. Results suggest that these families showed in terms of the circumflex model less cohesion and flexibility, and a chaotic, disengaged, enmeshed, rigid functioning with difficulties in communication and less family satisfaction, compared with the normative families. Differences in parents and the rest of the family member perceptions of the family functioning have been found considering the role. These results present to the clinicians the need to work with all the family system in order to approach the ED. |
