Validation of the Greek version of the Accommodation and Enabling Scale for Eating Disorders (AESED).

Eating disorders-related research has shown that families, in order to alleviate family conflict and stress, accommodate the symptoms of individuals with eating disorders. It has been argued that by tolerating or alleviating symptoms, the latter may gradually be reinforced or even fully accepted, as the family becomes increasingly "trapped" in specific eating patterns, weight control behaviors, and body shape worries. The Accommodation and Enabling Scale for Eating Disorders was created in 2009, aiming to assess family adaptability of individuals with eating disorders.
