Mothers' use of blogs while engaged in family-based treatment for a child's eating disorder.

Abstract

We explore parents' use of blogs while engaged in family-based treatment (FBT), a form of treatment in which parents engage as the primary givers of care for a child's eating disorder. We sought to bring together emergent literature on the value of blogging for social support with a body of literature on caregiving for a child with an eating disorder and to understand how parents use blogs while engaged in FBT.
