title: Review of a group for parents of anorexics.
abstract: A two year experience in running a group for parents of children with anorexia nervosa is described. It would appear that a parents' group is of positive, though limited, value in helping parents to adjust to their child's illness and it may be a useful adjunct in the overall treatment of anorexia nervosa.
