L'obiettivo del presente lavoro è quello di approfondire le conoscenze sul ruolo delle dinamiche familiari nei disturbi alimentari restrittivi. Ci siamo concentrati su pazienti severi e afferiti ad un centro di terzo livello. I nostri pazienti hanno mostrato un rischio molto alto di sviluppare psicosi attenuata per intensità e frequenti comorbidità di stampo internalizzante. Se è presente un buon accordo nel rilevarle tra i genitori, sembra che ci siano visioni differenti rispetto ai problemi tra genitori e figlie. Abbiamo usato lo strumento dell'LTPc per indagare la presenza di alleanze familiari disfunzionali che effettivamente abbiamo trovato essere spesso collusive in queste famiglie. Inoltre, le fasi maggiormente compromesse sono state la triadica e quella relativa al funzionamento della coppia genitoriale. Inoltre, è emerso che i genitori, invece, considerano le loro famiglie come globalmente funzionali a differenza di quanto rilevato dai clinici. Le dinamiche familiari si sono dimostrate utili anche per predire l'outcome ed influenzare il tipo di intervento terapeutico. Infine, abbiamo sviluppato un nostro modello di intervento multiprofessionale integrato e studiato con LTPc come questo ha modificato dopo 6 mesi il funzionamento familiare.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to deepen the knowledge on the role of family dynamics in restrictive eating disorders. We focused on severe and third-level center patients. Our patients showed a very high risk of developing psychosis attenuated by intensity and frequent internalizing comorbidities. If there is a good agreement between parents to detect them, it seems that there are different views on the problems between parents and daughters. We used the LTPc tool to investigate the presence of dysfunctional family alliances that we actually found to be often collusive in these families. Furthermore, the most compromised phases were the triadic phase and that relating to the functioning of the parental couple. Furthermore, it emerged that parents, on the other hand, consider their families as globally functional, unlike what clinicians have observed. Family dynamics have also been shown to be useful for predicting outcome and influencing the type of therapeutic intervention. Finally, we developed our own integrated multi-professional intervention model and studied with LTPc as this modified family functioning after 6 months.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
