Abstract:
This study aims to examine the
relation between the degree of
dissimilarity in patients’ and relatives’
perception of eating disorders (ED)
and patient adjustment. Sixty ED
patients and their relatives were
interviewed. They completed the
Spanish version for ED of the Revised
Illness Perception Questionnaire
(IPQ-R). Patients who agreed with
their relatives that their illness was
highly distressful, a chronic condition
and with high identity, showed higher
psychological distress than patients
who did not agree with their relatives.
When patients and relatives had fairly
positive perceptions of illness
controllability and curability, these
patients showed lower levels of
depression and anxiety.
