[Research in family dynamics with anorexia nervosa (author's transl)]

33 anorectic patients between the ages of 9 and 18 were treated from 1975 and 1980 as in-patients at the University clinic of neuro-psychiatry for children and juveniles. Familial criteria such as personal relationships; role allocation according to the Richter system and family structure were used as parameters. Sequence of siblings, age of parents and social factors were also taken into consideration.
