[Psychological education as a group process for parents of adolescents with eating disorders].
Psychoeducation is a well-established component of cognitive-behavioral therapy in adult patients with eating disorders. This paper describes a group model of psychoeducation that has been offered by our department for the past two years to parents of adolescent patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa. According to their own reports, parents appreciate this means of support to help them cope with their child's illness.
