Sub-theme: Ideal Characteristics of Treatment Settings

According to individuals with eating disorders and their friends and family, the ideal setting for this treatment to take place was in a safe and supportive environment – somewhere that feels ‘like home’, considers the individual with eating disorders as a ‘whole person’, and offers a ‘collaborative’ approach to treatments individualized and client-focused’ offering consultative and directional care.
It is suggested that a combination of ‘autonomy and direction’ equals ‘balance and success’ in eating disorder treatment. Some professionals also supported this ideal system, suggesting that although eating disorder experience, skill and knowledge are important in the treatment of eating disorders, building strong relationships with individuals with eating disorders and their family/friends, and delivering care holistically can have a greater impact of helpfulness than any type of treatment provided.
