Abstract: Objective We investigated the differences in perceived family cohesion, flexibility and communication in female patients with eating disorders and their mothers. Method Seventy-six patients with eating disorders, 29 mothers, 50 matched controls with their mothers and 79 medical students completed the FACES II and the Parent–Adolescent Communication Form. Results The patients perceived that their families were less cohesive and less flexible and that communication with their mothers was impaired. The patients' family perception differed by subtype of anorexia nervosa. The perception of restrictive anorectic patients did not differ from that of the control groups. Patients' mothers reported less cohesion and flexibility with impaired mother–daughter communication in comparison with the mothers of healthy females. Daughters were more critical towards their families than mothers. Conclusion The results confirmed significant differences between subtypes of anorexia nervosa and similarities between the bulimic form of anorexia nervosa and bulimia. Conflict avoidance and denial in restrictive anorexia nervosa patients may have caused their favourable perception of family cohesion and communication.
