Abstract

Anorexia nervosa affects mainly young adults. During care, caregivers seek alliance with patients' friends and family to be able to relate to the patients' symptoms and also their environment. Collaborative work with families helps build confidence. The "family group" is an example of well-intended partnership.

Keywords: alliance thérapeutique; anorexia nervosa; anorexie mentale; family group; groupe famille; hospitalisation; therapeutic alliance.
