Abstract:
The importance of work focused on body experience in the therapy of Eating Disorders is widely acknowledged. Even so, few researches have been devoted to this aspect. This paper describes the employment of adapted physical activity as part of a residential cure programme for 96 eating disorder patients. The chief aims of this programme relate to individual identity, relations with others, the body, and getting patients to build themselves a correct image of physical activity. The wide variety of working tools includes both individual and group activities: movement exercise, adapted sports, dancing, expressive activities, relaxation. The following are used to evaluate results: individual and group talks, specific observation scales, and video recordings of some meetings. As shown by other authors, the observations indicate that controlled physical activities can be usefully integrated into an eating disorders cure project.
