As a basic tool the Polish Version of Family Assessment Measure standardised on a Polish sample was used. The clinical group consists of 31 mothers and 32 fathers, the control group consist of 42 mothers and 41 fathers. The article present how parents from both groups perceived their marital relationship, their relationship with children, family functioning as a whole system and their individual functioning within the family system. The study revealed some interesting differences between samples. The basic conclusion is that perception of family relationships in the anorectic group is negative and incoherent in comparison with positive, congruent perception of family relationships in the control group. Significant differences are presented and discussed according to the literature.
