Abstract
This study examined the therapeutic alliance observed in parent-focused treatment (PFT) and family-based treatment (FBT) for adolescents with anorexia nervosa and their parents. Results indicated that therapeutic alliance among parents did not differ by treatment type, while adolescents self-reported greater alliance with their direct provider in PFT than in FBT.
