Empirical research on this matter in ED is limited, specially focused on anorexia nervosa (AN), and results have been contradictory. Th...
High expressed emotion (EE) as measured by the Camberwell Family Interview (CFI) predicts the course of eating disorders (ED). Despite its important contribution to the field, the CFI has two major limitations; it is time-consuming and it does not consider the patient's perspective. Obtaining the patient's view may help shed light on the dyadic nat...
