BECHARA, Ana Paula do Vale  e  KOHATSU, Lineu N.. Nutritional treatment of the anorexia and bulimia: the psychological aspects of the patient, of their families and of the dietitians. Vínculo [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.2, pp. 07-18. ISSN 1806-2490.

This study aims to describe the nutritional treatment of the eating disorders (ED), the psychological aspects related to the patients and their families and the psychological impacts entailed to the dietitians who act with patients with these disorders. The research had a qualitative approach, in which semi-structured and audio-recorded interviews were done with four dietitians who act with ED at institutions linked to universities and at private clinics. It was observed that, although patients with ED are grouped with common characteristics for these diseases, each of them should be understood as an individual case, since the motivation for the body and eating control is unique for each person. It was also observed that the treatment of ED entails a psychological impact on the dietitian, which needs to be worked through with a reflection about his own feelings, what can be performed with therapist support.
