Abstract

Objective: This article systematically reviews studies of parental bonding in people with eating disorders.
Method: MEDLINE, PsychINFO, EMBASE and CINAHL were searched to identify studies that compared parental bonding in people diagnosed with an eating disorder relative to non-clinical controls.
Results: Twenty-four studies were identified. Women with eating disorders typically reported lower parental care and higher parental protection compared to non-clinical, but not psychiatric, controls. Interestingly, these relationships were mediated by avoidant problem solving style and several schemas from the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ1).
Discussion: While there are methodological limitations associated with the reviewed studies, they do offer some support for the proposal that difficulties in parent-child relationships predispose women to eating disorders and other psychiatric diagnoses.
