This approach focuses on:
- Eating disorders act as a means of avoiding sexual maturity.
- Minuchin's family systems theory which suggests anorexia develops as a result of enmeshed family dynamics.
- Bruch's view that anorexia is related to mother-daughter sonflicts over dominance and autonomy.
This approach has been criticised in that:
- It lacks objective support.
- It blames the mother for the daughter's disorder.
- It does not explain why there has been an increase in the incidence of anorexia.
