Abstract:
In 1997 the Child and Family Clinic treatment team at Southlake Regional Health Centre (SLRHC) in Newmarket Ontario, Canada created the Eating Disorders Program, which included a day treatment program for adolescents with eating disorders. When first conceived, this day treatment program was the first of its kind in Ontario. The multi-disciplinary team created a feminist-informed model centered on developing joint decision making relationships among team, client, and family through sustained and transparent communication and negotiation. This model for decision making has evolved through careful deliberation and ethical reflection in the planning and provision of care.
