Aims: it is intended to offer an evaluation through the Interpersonal Grid Technique (TRI) of the factors of structure and cognitive content (self-esteem and self-definition), as well as interpersonal relationships. As well as exploring the relationships between these concepts and traditional clinical factors such as BMI, the age of onset of symptoms, treatment time, average duration of income, number of admissions and time between the onset of symptoms and the first treatment. Likewise, these variables will also be related to the scores obtained in EDI-2 and EAT-26. Method: The study was conducted on a sample of 20 patients with eating disorders from the Hospitalization Unit for Eating Disorders of the University Hospital San Juan de Alicante. Results and conclusions: the sample had high rigidity, poor flexibility and low cognitive undefined. It presented average self-esteem and self-construction with multiple constructs. It is observed that the greater distance with the mother correlates with greater age of onset of symptoms, while the greater distance with the father is related to interpersonal inefficiency, tendency to thinness, body dissatisfaction and lower interpersonal confidence. Also, greater distance between the ideal self and the father correlates with high perfectionism.
