Sub-theme: Power Relations Versus Collaboration

Oppositions existing within the weight versus well-being paradigm were also reported as part of a ‘power system’ throughout the eating disorder pathway, to the detriment of good practice.
It was important to not remove all control and power from those affected by eating disorders and professionals should adopt directional not authoritative stances and be firm yet consistent.
In eating disorders, if power relations were distributed more fairly in the eating disorder care setting, the ultimate wish of all parties for more room for greater collaboration in eating disorder treatment would result.
