Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of therapeutic attachment on eating disorders in girls with obesity. This research was a pre-test-posttest-follow-up study with control group. The statistical population of this study was primary school girls with attachment problems and obesity. Of these, 32 were randomly divided into control (16 girls) and experimental (16 girls). Purposeful sampling method was used. The research tool was Child Attachment Disorder Questionnaire (Randolph 1996), Eating Disorders Questionnaire (Boehne & Farborn, 2008) and Clinical Impairment due to eating disorder Questionnaire (Marcus & Kalarchian, 2003). After forming groups (experimental and control) and performing pretest, the mothers of the experimental group participated in the intervention program for 10 sessions during the two and a half months and did not receive any interventional control group. After the end of the intervention, two post-test groups were followed after 45. The results of single-variable covariance analysis indicated that there was a significant decrease in the level of Clinical Impairment due to eating disorders in the post-test and follow-up stages compared to control (p <0.005). According to the results, attachment therapy can be used as an intervention to reduce Clinical Impairment due to eating disorders in obese children.
