A Group-Work Approach to Addressing Friendship Issues in the Treatment of Adolescents with Eating Disorders

Sarah Davies

People with eating disorders often have some associated social difficulties. Given that friendships are of particular importance during adolescence, and that maintaining friendships during in-patient admission seems to aid the process of rehabilitation, there is a need for interventions that address friendship issues to form part of in-patient treatment programmes for adolescents with eating disorders. A group-work approach has been identified to address friendship issues within this context. The rationale for a Friends Group, key elements of the group and related issues are discussed. Patients’ experiences are reported and case examples provided to illustrate the function and value of the group.

Key Words: adolescent • eating disorders • friends • group • in-patient
