Correlation and regression analyzes were used to evaluate the data. Results: The results of the analysis demonstrated that the childhood trauma directly affects eating disorders symptoms. Also, it was determined that the amount of perceived attention/control from mother has a regulatory effect on the relationship between eating attitudes; and physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect. Conclusion: Clinicians may evaluate deterioration in eating attitudes as childhood trauma and parental bonding. Findings demonstrate the importance of the curative effect of therapists’ attention and control behavior.
