Cover Story: Alexithymia, parental bonding, and psychopathology were assessed in 32 families of adolescents with AN, their siblings, and their parents. We aimed to (a) describe a sample of families with a child affected by AN; (b) investigate interactions between assessed constructs in every family member; and (c) investigate intergenerational effects. The results showed high alexithymia and psychopathological symptoms in patients but not in siblings, although the latter reported high obsession–compulsion and paranoid ideation scores. Patients’ and siblings’ alexithymia correlated with psychopathology. Parents reported low alexithymia. Perceived parental bonding was found to be suboptimal in most participants, yet no clear relationship was found between specific parenting styles and other measured traits, nor did we find any other relevant intergenerational effect. View this paper
