title: Would it make a difference? A discussion group in a behaviorally oriented inpatient eating disorder program.
abstract: 1. The formation of a group solely for patients with eating disorders was viewed as being very therapeutic by patients and staff. 2. Due to fluctuation of group size and variability of needs, the group had to be flexible in its focus and format. 3. The need and/or desire for an outpatient transitional group for patients with eating disorders was an unexpected outcome of this study.
