Anorexia nervosa has attracted great attention recently because it is a psychological disorder with a high mortality rate. Although it is thought to be common in adolescents, it has begun to pose a significant risk to older age groups as well. Many different psychotherapies have been proposed for anorexia nervosa from the past to the present, but no consensus has been reached in the literature on this issue. This article aims to examine the effect of family therapy on anorexia nervosa by comparing it with individual therapies. In the literature, there are different opinions on the effectiveness of family therapy, which is frequently discussed with anorexia nervosa. As long as the family does not prevent the progress of the treatment, the use of family therapy has been found to be beneficial for anorexia nervosa, both through the study of dysfunctional relationship patterns in the family and in order to support the treatment of the family.

Anoreksiya Nervoza İçin Aile Terapisi

Öz

Anoreksiya nervoza yüksek ölüm oranına sahip bir psikolojik rahatsızlık olması sebebiyle son yıllarda büyük dikkat çekmiştir. Genellikle ergenlerde sık rastlandığı düşünülse de daha büyük yaş grupları için de önemli bir tehlike arz etmeye başlamıştır. Çok daha ölümcül bir hal alması ve tespitinin oldukça güç bir şekilde yapılabilmesi sebebiyle büyük yaş grupları için de ergenler için olduğu kadar önemli hale gelmiştir. Fakat çalışmalar çoğunlukla ergen yaş grubuna odaklanmaya devam etmektedir. Geçmişten günümüze kadar anoreksiya nervoza için birçok farklı psikoterapi önerilmiştir fakat literatürde bu konuda bir fikir birliğine varılamamıştır. Daha çok bireysel terapiler ve aile terapilerini odağına almakta olan anoreksiya nervosa özelinde yapılan çalışmalar çok farklı bulgular ortaya koymaktadır. Bu makale aile terapisinin anoreksiya nervozanın üzerindeki etkisini bireysel terapilerle karşılaştırarak incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Literatürde anoreksiya nervoza ile sık bir şekilde ele alınan aile terapisinin etkililiğine ilişkin farklı görüşler bulunmaktadır. Ailenin tedavinin ilerlemesine engel olmadığı sürece hem ailedeki işlevsiz ilişki kalıplarının çalışılması yolu ile hem de ailenin tedaviye destek olması amacıyla aile terapisinin kullanılması anoreksiya nervoza için faydalı bulunmuştur.
