A study of the marital communication between couples in which the wives suffered from eating disorders revealed that an analysis of the quality of marital communication helped in the treatment of these patients. Twenty one married couples were studied in an analysis of the communication patterns in which all the female partners suffered from eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa. The study indicates that eating disorders are not the result of destructive communication between couples.

Article Abstract:

Persistence of eating disorders causes body image disturbance, which is detrimental in development of the body, and hence a mirror exposure (ME) treatment was developed due to limitations in treating body image disturbance. It was concluded that ME is an effective treatment for body image disturbance and should be evaluated in the context of treatments for eating disorders.
