[Therapeutic bonds for the treatment of eating disorders].
Anorexia is the most common eating disorder. Aside from the weight loss and its effects on the body, this disease is characterised by relationship difficulties within the family. Institutional treatment aims to enable the teenager and her family to meet different professionals and, gradually, to create diverse bonds. The young patient thereby experiences difference and uncertainty in the relationship with others, while retaining the reassurance of an empathetic bond.
