A) Many families of clients with eating disorders are achievement and performance oriented, with high ambition for the success of all members. In these families, body shape is related to success, and priorities are established for physical appearance and fitness. A family's focus on professional achievement as well as on food, diet, exercise, and weight control may become obsessive. The mother states that she is weight and exercise conscious, which could be a reason as to why the child has an eating disorder. There is not enough information to determine whether the child does or does not have a genetic predisposition to an eating disorder or a neurotransmitter abnormality. The mother is not setting a good example by being overly focused on eating and exercise.
