The New York Times (11/29, Ellin) reports a recent research involving 20 couples suggests that the partners of adult patients with eating disorders can play a “critical” role in recovery. The article quotes multiple experts who explained how partners can aid or hinder the recovery process. The Times adds that while families have often been a part of treatment for children or adolescents with eating disorders, adult patients have traditionally been treated individually without their partners.
