Hitting Closer to Home: A Multiple Family Prevention Group for Adolescent Disordered Eating
Clemency, Colleen E.; Rayle, Andrea Dixon
Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v31 n3 p219-245 Sep 2006
This article presents an innovative multiple family psychoeducational group for the prevention of disordered eating among adolescent females. An overview of the concerns facing adolescents today is presented, including sociocultural norms, body dissatisfaction associated with pubertal changes, teasing regarding weight and shape, and family influences. Evidence regarding past prevention efforts are cited, indicating the need for the development of psychoeducational groups aimed at promoting familial systemic change for the prevention of adolescent disordered eating. Finally, a nine-session, psychoeducational multiple family group model for the prevention of disordered eating among female adolescents is described.
