We will provide evidence and perspective about how eating disorders can reciprocally affect and be affected by family relationships and wider relational networks through direct and indirect pathways. Sibling relationships, intimate partnerships, sexual intimacy, the home-food environment, parent–child attachments, family cohesion and communication, and financial security are some of the domains of family life affected by the distress and functional impairment caused by eating disorders. Multiple family members can suffer from an eating disorder simultaneously and/or subsequently, lending credence to the idea that family-level system change can not only lead to individual improvements but also promote sustainable healing across the family unit. Families can be a resource and occasionally a liability for their loved one who is suffering from an eating disorder and can therefore play a key role in their recovery.
