Resolving the control struggle on an eating disorders unit.
The authors describe the process by which the nursing staff of an eating disorder program was able to identify an ineffective treatment model and to implement some needed changes. They describe the Therapeutic/Administrative Split Model, a method to improve communication and treatment planning between the nurse and psychiatrist. How family control issues are mirrored in the treatment process, and played out within the transference, are also explored.
