Abstract:
Groups are a common component of treatment programs for adolescents with eating disorders (EDs). This article discusses a weekly group run by nursing and psychology members of a multidisciplinary EDs team. The theme of this group was ethical debating, and it was designed for adolescent patients aged between 14 and 18 years. These ED patients were provided with basic information about five ethical principles, and they debated weekly ethical scenarios. Debate content and process, as well as its therapeutic benefits, will be discussed in this article.
