This paper describes a psychoeducational intervention programme for relatives of patients with an eating disorder. The pilot study examined the acceptability of the programme among 15 caregivers and whether their difficulties and distress involved in this role changed after intervention. Impact on the 14 eating disorder patients with was also explored. Assessments were undertaken at baseline (T0), at the end of the workshops (T1) and 3 months later (T2). After the intervention programme, the relatives’ subjective caregiving experience, their levels of expressed emotion and distress improved. The patients’ recovery process was also affected positively-dysfunctional eating behaviours and affective symptoms decreased. These changes were maintained over time. The programme was highly valued by the carers, who expressed to be very satisfied and to have learnt to better recognise and understand the symptoms. The intervention is presumed to be beneficial for both caregivers and patients, although results should be replicated with larger samples.
