This study examined the difficulties couples face in relation to anorexia nervosa. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, five couples in which one of the partners lives with anorexia nervosa were interviewed separately. The findings are conceptualized into three areas: first, the encounter 'at the crossroads between remission and relapse'; second, the way that 'anorexia reveals itself'; and finally, the way the 'ménage à trois' works, including the illness fully as part of the couple. Psychotherapists should take into account the context of the couple and the complex interaction between the couple and the illness to support both partners' development of appropriate responses.
本研究探讨了夫妻双方在应对神经性厌食症时所面临的困难。采用解释性现象学分析方法，对五对夫妻中的一方患有神经性厌食症的情况进行了单独访谈。研究结果被归纳为三个方面：第一，“在缓解和复发的十字路口相遇”；第二，“厌食症显现的方式”；第三，“三人关系的运作方式”，包括将疾病完全纳入夫妻关系中。心理治疗师应考虑夫妻关系的背景以及夫妻关系与疾病之间的复杂相互作用，以支持双方发展出适当的应对方式。
