Eating Disorders (ED) are characterized by severe disturbances in eating behavior. These include anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED). The etiology of ED is multifactorial, being involved in its development biological, psychological, familial and social factors. In addition to the clinical complications associated with the disorder, is also found serious interpersonal difficulties. These difficulties contribute to the occurrence of low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, social withdrawal and insecurity, also hindering the development of satisfactory emotional relationships. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between social skills, attachment styles and eating disorders The sample comprised 14 individuals with AN, 33 individuals with BN, 31 obese subjects with BED, 31 obese without eating disorder, compared to a control group without eating disorders, matched for age, sex and years of study. The instruments used were the Eating Attitudes Test, the Bulimic Investigatory Test Endiburgo, Binge Eating Scale, Inventory of Empathy (IE), the Social Skills Inventory (IHS) and the Adult Attachment Scale (AAS). Data evaluation was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics (t test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation). The results confirmed some hypotheses of this study and corroborate data in the literature suggesting that individuals with ED have deficits in social skills and insecure styles of attachment, which can affect interpersonal relationships. Although it was observed that such deficiencies could be related to increased severity of ED.
