This exploratory study is the first to examine family-based treatment (FBT) adherence and association to treatment outcome in the context of a large-scale, multi-centre study for the treatment of adolescents with anorexia nervosa.In a world increasingly interconnected and influenced by globalization, many Arab-speaking communities in Saudi society are today seamlessly integrating English into their spoken and written communication. Through extensive code-switching (CS) between Arabic and English, a hybridized form of language is emerging, characterized by the fluid and dynamic fusion of both languages. This shift is radically transforming the linguistic landscape in Saudi Arabia, blurring the boundaries between the two languages and cultures. Shifting languages between Arabic and English means navigating between two distinct worlds and systems, each with its own set of ideologies and worldviews. In this linguistic transition, where do we find ourselves? Starting with the premise that language encapsulates, carries, shapes, and transforms, and is inseparable from culture, I embark on a journey to demystify this transformation within Generation Z Saudis. Through in-depth ethnographic and qualitative research, I seek to cultivate a space for exploration and dialogue, delving into the intricate codes of code-switching and its impact on cultural identity. Ultimately, this research seeks to investigate the interplay of language, culture, and Identity, and to spark discussions that challenge conventional beliefs about language hybridity.
