Minuchin, Rosman, and Baker (1978) summarized the results of treating fifty three cases
of anorexia nervosa with structural family therapy. After a course of treatment that in-
cluded hospitalization followed by family therapy on an outpatient basis, forty three anorexic
children were “greatly improved,” two were“improved,” three showed “no change,” two
were “worse,” and three had dropped out. Although ethical considerations precluded a control treatment with these seriously ill children,the 90 percent improvement rate is impressive,
especially compared with the 30 percent mortality rate for this disorder. Moreover, the positive results at termination were maintained at follow up intervals of several years. Structural
family therapy has also been shown to be effective in treating psychosomatic asthmatics and
psychosomatically complicated cases of diabetes (Minuchin, Baker, Rosman, Liebman, Milman, & Todd, 1975).
