We call for a critical examination of Western literature that describes how a mother praises her child. I illustrate how one observer (the first author) perceives the issue of maternal praise differently from other observers. To illustrate the interaction between this family and the family therapist (the second author), some representative vignettes of the sixth session have been extracted for discussion. Ten observers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, 7 of whom were master's students and 3 were doctoral students, observed the therapy sessions from the adjoining room. The article is composed of four parts: (a) parental styles and relationships in families with an anorectic daughter literature review; (b) vignettes of the sixth family therapy session; (c) the observers' comments about the therapist; and (d) discussion. The paper concludes with a question of whether the impact of praise on a child's development in Western society functions in the same way and produces the same effects on a child's development as it does in Chinese society.

To show the rich narratives of the family's experiences of the course of family treatment with twelve sessions when struggling through anorexia nervosa, the authors present a case from Hong Kong for describing and analyzing the processes of change in both anorectic symptoms and family relationships of the afflicted family. Lily (a pseudonym), 21 years old, weighed 33 kg at a height of 160 cm (BMI = 12.9) when she first sought help from us in 2000. After receiving family treatment, she weighed 43 kg (BMI = 16.8) in July of 2001. The ultimate goal of treatment for this family was to resolve the patient's symptoms and improve the family's relationships. Several considerations were important: (a) to understand the process and outcome of family treatment; (b) socio-cultural influences; (c) handle sibling rivalry; (d) significance of the father's voice; and (e) avoiding blame. Finally, understanding applications of family therapy in various cultures and giving every family member a voice was encouraged. doi:10.1300/J086vl9n02_02

The metaphor of unwrapping a box was adopted to describe the therapeutic strategy of helping the girl express her inner feelings, and of helping the parents listen to their daughter describe her pain and suffering in the presence of the therapist. Health care professionals have to lead the dance, creating a space where their clients can share their secrets with their family and their therapist.
