AIM: Anorexia, bulimia and obesity have become a problem for increasing numbers of females of all ages. Like eating itself, pathological eating patterns can be regarded as products of historical, societal, family and individual factors. The aim of the present study was to explore whether early experiences with food and eating influenced women's eating patterns in later life and furthermore if there are specific aspects of socialisation in regards to food which are associated with the development of a specific form of eating disorder. METHOD: The retrospective accounts of women with anorexia nervosa (n=18), bulimia nervosa (n=21) or severe obesity (n=18) were compared with those of women without an eating pathology (n=20). A semi-structured interview was conducted in addition to self-rating questionnaires about current eating behaviour (EDI, EAT, BITE) and relationships with parents and peers during childhood (PBI, PARTS). The data was analysed using quantitative and qualitative methods. RESULTS: The families of the four sub-groups differed surprisingly little concerning food and eating. However, significant differences in the informants' relationship with their mothers were found, with the eating disordered women describing their mothers as less caring and more overprotective. In addition there was a positive correlation between this parenting style of 'affectionless control' and severity of eating pathology. Qualitative analysis underlined that the sub-groups differed not only in their experience of parental control but also in how they responded to it. Body shape as a child emerged as an important factor in interview and questionnaires. Heavier weight in childhood was' associated with earlier onset of dieting and persistent negative body image. All three eating disordered sub-groups described themselves as being heavier as children and reported more size related teasing by peers and (in particular male) family members. CONCLUSION: The literature reviewed and the present study add further weight to the evidence of a link between early eating related experiences and the later manifestation of eating problems. However the link between socialisation in regards to food and eating and the development of a specific form of eating disorder is more tentative.

It is alarming to see the increase of the depressive syndrome and eating disorders in women. The changes in the traditional feminine attitude, concerning maternity and the fulfillment of taking care of the family love, it's identity acquires passively since early childhood and the stereotype of establishing an association between depression and other eating disorders. The article establishes "muteness of the voice", as a strategy learned since childhood and strengthened in adolescence to silence, reprieve and ser apart the awakening to the sensations produced by the body towards desire and sexual pleasures. The body responds as an alternative language of somatic characteristics through which it intends to splitting the emotional message.El incremento del síndrome depresivo y de los trastornos de alimentación en las mujeres es alarmante. Las variaciones del rol tradicional femenino en lo que se refiere a la maternidad y a la función cuidadora de los afectos familiares, su identificación con una pasividad aprendida desde la temprana infancia y la transformación de la estereotipia de los cuerpos femeninos ha determinado la posibilidad de establecer una asociación entre la depresión y los trastornos alimenticios. El artículo plantea el silenciamiento de la voz como una estrategia aprendida desde la infancia y reforzada en la adolescencia para acallar, reprimir y escindir los despertares a las sensaciones que emanan del cuerpo, al deseo y al goce sexual. El cuerpo se propone como un lenguaje alternativo de características somáticas a través del cual se intenta tramitar la escisión del n1ensaje emocional.

Eating disorders is considered as a well researched area. Although, an increasing number of mental health clinicians are becoming better equipped in recognising eating disorders in individuals, specialist eating disorder services still underrepresent various groups. This doctoral thesis examines two of those groups specifically, men and ethnic minorities, in particular for the latter, South Asian women and eating disorders. The first paper reviews published research and examines the link between eating disorders in men and gender differences. It specifically focuses on the factors, which are argued to have a causal link to the development and maintenance of eating disorders in men. It further examines the validity and reliability of eating disorder research in this area and explores the implications for clinical practice. The second paper presents an empirical study exploring the development and experiences of eating disorders in South Asian women including a comparative analysis with Caucasian women. The final paper provides a reflective account of my journey in carrying out this research.

To obtain descriptive information concerning female bodybuilders and women who weight train, a questionnaire concerning training regimes, menstrual history and dieting strategies was developed and administered with the EDI included as part of the questionnaire. Factors assessed included: incidence of menstrual irregularity, scores on the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI), prevalence of behaviors associated with eating disorders, and mean body fat. Subjects were between the ages of 18 and 35 and included individuals from Personal Health Classes at Virginia Tech, the Virginia Tech Weight Lifting Club, and Goad's Gym in Blacksburg, Virginia. Subjects were classified by activity (weight lifters versus controls), involvement (high, moderate and low) and competition (noncompetitive and competitive).
Chi-square analysis indicated that there was no difference in incidence rates of menstrual irregularity between weight lifters (WLs) and controls (Cs); however, the rates of both groups were higher than the general population. Although there was no difference in menstrual function of involvement groups, 50% of the competitors, significantly more than non-competitors, were classified as oligomenorrheic or amenorrheic.
All subject groups had mean scores approaching anorexic patient norms on the EDI Bulimia and Maturity Fears subscales. WLs were significantly higher on Drive for Thinness than Cs and more WLs had subscale scores higher than the mean scores presented for anorexics. Additionally, significantly more WLs reported uncontrollable urges to eat, fear of fat, and history of anorexia. Mean %BF of the WLs was 20.18% with competitors being significantly leaner than non-competitors.
The high degree of menstrual dysfunction in both WLs and Cs is confusing; yet, the 27% incidence of oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea in WLs is much higher than the rates documented for the general population. The high Drive for Thinness and incidence of negative eating behaviors indicate that the prevalence of eating disorders in this population may progress as this relatively new sport evolves and competitive participation increases.M.S.

Studies within the field of eating disorders often address pathology, prevalence/risk factors, body image, beliefs/perceptions (not specific to body image), treatment programs and psychometry. The main theoretical frameworks may be classified as developmental, sociocultural and perceptual. Most research, however, has been conducted using quantitative methodologies with clinical populations. Of the few qualitative studies (Blok, 2002; Budd, 2002; Pearson, 1998), none of them investigate the experience of being at risk for developing eating disorders. This was the aim of this study, which used a mixed methodology and a health perspective. In phase one, Quantitative questionnaires were administered to university women in order to identify four who were at risk for developing an eating disorder. In the second phase, qualitative interviews, using a phenomenological approach, were then conducted with the four consenting participants in order to appreciate their daily experiences of being at-risk. Gathered data was then analysed using two strategies. The first entailed regrouping data according to Integrator Themes. Results reveal a deeper, richer understanding of the experiences, as they were revealed phenomenologically. The second analysis strategy used the Wellness Model (Donatelle, Davis, Munroe, & Munroe, 2001), which describes health as having six dimensions: physical/physiological, psychological, social, environmental, intellectual and spiritual. Results of this analysis reveal that all six dimensions are impacted when a woman is at-risk of developing an eating disorder. While her specific experiences may be unique, one from the other, all aspects of her life are affected. Discussion emphasises the importance of qualitative methodologies and the use of a health perspective in this domain of study.

Thesis advisor: Barbara E. WolfeStudies suggest that eating disorder (ED) pathology may be linked to ovulatory and unexplained infertility in women who present to reproductive treatment centers. Specifically, studies have linked hypothalamic amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, and anovulatory cycles to disordered eating. Advances in Assisted Reproductive Technology can lead to successful conception for women with ED; however, they have a higher risk for poor maternal and fetal outcomes. This descriptive, comparative, quantitative study examined disordered eating and psychological symptoms in women with ovulatory and unexplained infertility compared with women receiving routine health care from their primary care providers. Women ages 20 to 44 were recruited. After providing verbal consent, a study packet was mailed to the study participant's home. The Eating Disorder Inventory-3-Referral Form and Herman and Polivy Restraint Scale measured disordered eating symptoms. The Speilberger Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory-II examined psychological symptoms. Provisional DSM IV TR diagnoses were ascertained using the Eating Disorder Inventory-3-Symptom Checklist, along with other scale items. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) confirmed that women with ovulatory and unexplained infertility had significantly higher Desire for Thinness (p = .001) and Bulimia (p = .007) subscale scores putting them at risk for Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia. Women receiving routine care had significantly higher Body Dissatisfaction (p = .000) subscale scores consistent with their higher weight and tendency toward overeating. Women receiving routine care also had significantly higher Restraint (p = .000) scale scores, leaving them at risk for dietary disinhibition. The groups did not differ on psychological symptoms. Women with infertility had lifetime ED diagnoses many times the national ED prevalence rate, similar to the research findings of Freizinger et al. (2010). The study results support that women with ovulatory and unexplained infertility are at risk for having an occult ED. The critical import of integrating ED assessment into infertility evaluation, reproductive and primary care was implicated. Further study to isolate biobehavioral markers to better identify women at risk for ED and improve their maternal and fetal outcomes was recommended

Psychological and behavioral characteristics of female undergraduates with varying levels of disordered eating, as measured by the Questionnaire for Eating Disorder Diagnoses (Q-EDD; Mintz, O'Halloran, Mulholland, & Schneider, 1997), were investigated. Results suggest that the Q-EDD is an appropriate instrument for measuring eating disorder symptomatology. Greater disordered eating was associated with more bulimic, dieting, and weight fluctuation symptoms, higher impression management and approval-seeking needs, more dichotomous thinking, self control, and rigid weight regulation, and increased concern with body shape and dissatisfaction with facial features. Eating-disordered and symptomatic women evidenced more severe eating disorder behaviors and psychological distress than asymptomatic women. Findings are congruent with a redefined discontinuity perspective of eating disorder symptomatology. Treatment implications and campus-wide preventions are suggested.

At present, there is little esearch on athletes' recovery from eating disorders. The research was designed to fill this void through three studies on recovery in athletes who experienced eating disorders. Study #1 included 49 collegiate female athlete participants with current or former eating disorders. They completed on-line questionnaires to determine persons and factors that helped their attempts at recovery as well as to measure their use of coping mechanisms. Mothers and friends were most frequently cited as helpful as well as hurtful to recovery. Not wanting to lose the ability to compete in sport emerged as the most important factor in assisting recovery. Coping mechanisms were interpreted using Folkman and Lazarus's (1980) transactional model. Results revealed that greater recovery was related to more use of problem-focused coping and emotional-approach coping strategies as well as less use of avoidant-style coping. Study #2 utilized in-depth interviews with 17 collegiate female athletes who had achieved at least three months of recovery from an eating disorder in attempt to better understand the recovery process in athletes. Results revealed a life-cycle of an eating disorder which had ultimately led the participants to recovery. The participants' reports indicated a variety of internal and external factors that helped and hindered the recovery process which were discussed and compared to the non-athlete literature. Study #3 provided advice to coaches, parents, and athletes based on the experiences of 16 collegiate female athletes who had achieved at least a three month period of recovery from an eating disorder. Participants most frequently encouraged coaches to address eating disorder symptoms, provide support, and refer athletes to professional care. Parents were encouraged to provide support, recommend professional treatment, avoid critical comments or judgments, and become more educated about eating disorders. Participants most commonly recommended that athletes with eating disorders keep hope for recovery, determine underlying causes of the disorder, and seek professional treatment. The results from all three studies provided implications for the sport community, which were discussed in detail. Overall, results indicated that the ability to participate in sport is a crucial factor in motivating athletes to recover from eating disorders.

Bibliography: pages 313-322.This study addresses eating and body problems among women. It has three central aims. Firstly, it is a prevalence study of the attitudes and behaviours associated with the eating disorders of anorexia nervosa and bulimia, among a sample of female undergraduate students. Secondly, it serves as a study of the nature of problems associated with eating and body affect among this community of women, with a particular focus on those women who consider themselves to have an eating problem. Thirdly, it has a theoretical aim to address the issue of the role of culture, in particular socially constructed femininity, within the understanding of eating/body problems, ranging from "normal" women's relationships to their body and eating to the severe disorders of anorexia nervosa and bulimia. The theoretical project within this study involves a critical review of theories which are pertinent to an understanding of the role of culture and femininity, both from within and outside of eating disorder literature. This review, together with empirical evidence from prevalence studies, highlights the importance of "normal" women's experiences with their body and eating and the ideological prescriptions in which these occur, within the understanding of eating/body problems. The mainstream view of eating disorders as abnormalities, apart from the "normal", is challenged in this way. The need for a theory which can articulate the complex psychical acquisition of cultural femininity, which does not reduce this process to either social or asocial determinants alone, is argued.

The aim of the present thesis is to integrate clinical and social psychological research to explore the relationship between disordered eating symptomatology and interpersonal perception among women. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the epidemiology and aetiology of eating disorders. As it is clear that disordered eating can have pervasive, prolonged and usually detrimental effects on the psychosocial functioning of women, there is ongoing need for research regarding the development, management and prevention of symptoms. Further, efforts to clarify how social psychological processes are related to unhealthy attitudes about food and body weight are likely to improve current conceptualisations of disordered eating.
Chapter 2 discusses the social psychology of food and eating behaviour. It is argued that social motives play an important role in shaping the way that men and women eat, but that women are particularly likely to manipulate their eating behaviour in response to impression management concerns. Motives for restricting the consumption of food in social situations are discussed, including the desire to convey a feminine identity to others (Leary, Tchividjian & Kraxberger, 1999) and to counter negative perceptions ofthe overweight (Crandall, 1994).
Chapter 3 confirms that women are correct to be concerned about managing their eating behaviour in public. Evidence for the effect of meal size and meal content on first impressions of male and female consumers is presented. In addition, previous explanations for the influence of food on person perceptions are discussed. It is concluded that information about how disordered eating relates to interpersonal perception among women may help to elucidate why meal cues and body-shape variations affect judgements about women.
Study 1, described in Chapter 4, examined whether impressions of a female consumer (Le., target) are influenced by her body weight, the amount of dietary fat that she consumes, and the severity of disordered eating experienced by the women who observe her. Using written stimuli and video vignettes, Study 1 demonstrated that unhealthy eating-related attitudes and behaviours moderate the effect of body shape and meal cues on perceptions of female targets. However, in contrast to previously published works, the results of Study 1 suggest that being overweight or consuming high fat meals may not be entirely detrimental for women who wish to make a favourable impression on others.
Chapter 5 describes a second study that aimed to address the potential limitations of Study 1 and provide further clarification of the role of target- and perceiver-related variables in person perception among women. Data obtained in Study 2 replicated the finding that disordered eating moderates the extent to which body-weight and fat consumption colour impressions of female consumers. The results also suggested that women may experience ambivalence when perceiving novel female consumers.Finally, Chapter 6 presents an overview of Studies 1 and 2 and discusses difficulties faced by researchers who wish to explore the role of disordered eating in interpersonal perception among women. Concerns about internal and external validity, accurate assessment of impressions, and recruitment of women with eating disorders are explored. The chapter concludes with a summary of the implications of the research.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

In the current study, I examined the general sociocultural model of eating disorders that suggests that sociocultural pressures leads to internalization, which in turn leads to body dissatisfaction and ultimately disordered eating. Because I am testing this model with a sample of African American women, I also am including acculturation as a variable of interest. Specifically, I hypothesized that (a) the experience of more societal pressure to be thin will be related to greater internalization, (b) higher levels of acculturation will be related to greater internalization, (c) internalization of the thin ideal will be directly and positively related to body image concern, and (d) body image concern will be associated with higher levels of disordered eating. It was determined that there is a direct, negative relationship between Level of Identification with Culture of Origin and Internalization. Perceived Pressure was directly and positively related to both Internalization and Body Image Concerns. Body Concerns and Internalization were both directly and positively related to Disordered Eating. These findings suggest that although many of the same constructs related to disordered eating in other ethnic groups are also related to disordered eating among African American women, the relationships between the factors differs across racial/ethnic groups. This information can help clinicians and researchers to better treat and understand the nature of disordered eating behavior and correlates among African American women.

Dream theorists propose that dreams can balance conscious reality, and provide clues to unconscious processes complicating psychosomatic conditions. Little research has been done in the area of dreams and eating disorders. Based on data from a pilot study, and reports of eating-disordered women's dreams in the literature, the researcher hypothesised that eating-disordered women's dreams would contain a significant number of themes symbolizing the psychological states underlying their condition. Of particular interest was a sense of ineffectiveness, which has been the subject of many recent studies of eating-disordered women. The exploratory study compared the dream content of 12 eating-disordered and 11 normal women, aged 20 to 35 years. The 275 dreams were rated by 8 "blind" raters according to a 91-item eating disorder specific dream rating scale, which registered dream content such as attitudes of helplessness, images of anger, self-hate, and affect. A high level of inter-rater reliability was obtained. A questionnaire assessing motivational states (General Causality Orientation Scale; GCOS) was also administered. The data were analyzed by the independent t-test. The results showed strong significance in the occurrence of themes of ineffectiveness in the eating-disordered women's dreams (p = .001), which corresponded with the findings on the GCOS (p< .001). Also significantly present in the target group's dreams were themes of self-hate, anger, inability to nourish themselves, an obsession with weight, and the presence of negative emotions. An additional finding was a strongly significant presence of a sense of impending doom at the end of eating-disordered women's dreams (p < .001). These results suggest that dreams may provide an additional resource in understanding eating disorders.Education, Faculty of

The purpose of this study was to determine what relationship exists between the degree of an eating disorder or "disordered eating" pattern and athletic performance. The subjects were 30 female collegiate swimmers, between the ages of 18 and 22 years, at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. The subjects completed the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) questionnaire, which assesses several psychological and behavioral traits associated with bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa, and the Bulimia Test-Revised (BULIT-R) questionnaire which measures symptoms of bulimia in adolescents and adults. A performance score was calculated from each swimmer's best event.The results of this study supported the research hypothesis that there would be a negative relationship between the swimming performance of athletes and degree of eating disorder or "disordered eating" pattern as measured by the two questionnaires. "Disordered eating" patterns predicted 20 percent of the variance in athletic performance.School of Physical Education

Objectives: The existing literature demonstrates a need for more effective treatments and support for people diagnosed with “eating disorders”. The limited research available demonstrates the potential for yoga to be helpful as a treatment for “eating disorders”. However, only one study investigated people’s experiences of yoga and “eating disorders”, and none looked at the aspects of yoga that people may find more or less helpful. This study aimed to explore women’s experiences of yoga practice in relation to their experiences of “eating disorders”, with the hope of identifying such aspects. Methods: 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted with women with a history and current experience of “eating disorders” (Anorexia or Bulimia Nervosa), 6 of whom were trained as yoga teachers, and 6 were practicing yoga regularly during their journey to recovery. Average age of participants was 27 years. Duration of yoga practice ranged from 1 to 21 years. The transcripts were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Results: Two superordinate themes were identified, with participants describing a joint journey between their ED and yoga practice, ways through which yoga may be helpful for achieving a better mind-body connection, such as through mindfulness, spirituality and related principles; as well as noting ways through which yoga may potentially be unhelpful to those experiencing EDs, such as when ED manifests in the practice, or if yoga becomes another manifestation of ED in the form of excessive exercise, or when yoga industry and the current presentation of yoga negatively influences individual’s practice. Conclusions: This study provides insights about potential mechanisms through which yoga could be helpful or detrimental for those experiencing “eating disorders”. The clinical and research implications are discussed. It is hoped that the findings will contribute to the development of more effective and client-accepted ways of supporting people with “eating disorders”.

Eating disorders occur primarily in young women, many of whom are of child bearing age. Pregnancy has often been viewed as a period of great developmental change for women. Many psychological processes such as body image, autonomy, dependency and relationships to one's own parents, which have been hypothesised to be important in the development of eating disorders, are highlighted during pregnancy. This may mean that pregnancy is a particularly stressful time for women with eating disorders. The limited amount of previous research in this area has suggested the potential for pregnancy to exert a positive or negative influence on eating disorder symptoms. The present study employs a qualitative methodology, with the aim of exploring the experiences of pregnancy for women with eating disorders and elucidating the meaning behind any changes to the course of eating disorder symptoms. Twelve women who had active eating disorders at the time they became pregnant were retrospectively interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule. The interview transcripts were analysed using a grounded theory approach. Following this analysis a proposed theoretical model of women with eating disorders' experiences of pregnancy was devised. Central to this model are conflicts between a sense of freedom and a lack of personal control and between a woman's identity as a mother and her eating disordered identity. These conflicts are proposed to be mediated by a woman's sense of physical and psychological attachment to her baby and her sense of her baby as a person. The strengths and limitations of the research are discussed and implications of the theory for clinical practice and future research are suggested.

Psychological, Somatosensory and Autonomic functions in Women suffering from Eating Disorders.General health and psychological, somatosensory and autonomic function were investigated in a sample of 23 eating disorder (ED) women currently in treatment and 16 controls. Somatosensory function in ED patients was generally similar to controls on cutaneous punctate sensitivity, pain sensitivity (i.e. pressure pain thresholds (PPT) on the hand or on soft tissues over the body, ischemic pain threshold and tolerance; pain distress and sensory ratings and reports of bodily aches and pains). The only differences were that bulimia nervosa (n= 6) was associated with elevated PPT on the hand and ED patient groups reported abdominal pain, and headaches for those with purging symptoms. Hand PPT correlated with BMIs (r = 0.34) and exercise frequency (r = 0.44). Self-reported general physical health and autonomic reactivity in ED patients (i.e., blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability, sympatico-vagal balance and sympathetically-driven stress-response) were similar to controls, with no major impairments of autonomic function in ED patients. Minor autonomic disturbances were lower blood pressure and slower heart rate in Anorexia Nervosa patients (AN), a slightly reduced stress-response in AN-Restrictive patients (n = 7) and a minor sympatico-vagal imbalance in AN-Binge/Purge patients (n = 10). On the other hand, ED patients, in particular AN Binge/Purge patients, suffered from various psychological impairments. Anxiety and Depression were related to autonomic function and to the inflammatory response to capsaicin across patients and controls. The results support the presence of clusters within ED subtypes which are associated with different profiles of general health, psychopathologies and somatosensory sensitivity, suggesting that treatment strategies also need to be specific.
Fonctionnement psychologique, somatosensoriel et autonomique chez des femmes souffrant de troubles alimentaires.
La santé générale et les fonctions psychologiques, somatosensorielles et autonomiques on été investiguées dans un échantillon de 23 femmes souffrant de troubles de l'alimentation (TA) sous traitement et 16 femmes sans TA. Les fonctions somatosensorielles des patients avec TA étaient, en général, similaires aux femmes sans TA pour la sensibilité ponctuée cutanée, la sensibilité à la douleur (i.e. seuil de douleur à la pression (SDP) sur la main ou sur les tissues mous du corps, seuil de douleur et tolérance ischémique, évaluation sensorielle et émotionnelle de la douleur et maux et douleurs allégués). Les seules différences étaient une association entre la Boulimie Nerveuse (BN) et une élévation du SDP sur la main, la présence de douleurs abdominales chez les patientes avec un TA, et de maux de tête chez les patients avec des symptômes purgatifs. L'indice de masse corporel (IMC) et la fréquence de l'activité physique étaient tous deux corrélés avec le SDP sur la main. L'autoévaluation de la santé physique générale et de la réactivité autonomique chez les patients souffrant d'un TA (i.e. Pression sanguine, pouls, variation des battements cardiaques, équilibre sympatico-vagual et réaction au stress induite par le système sympathique) étaient similaire à celles des femmes sans TA. Les troubles mineurs du système autonomique comprennent une baisse de la pression artérielle et des battements cardiaques chez les patients avec Anorexie Nerveuse (AN), une réduction mineure de la réponse au stress chez les patientes souffrant d'AN de type Restrictive (n =7) et un déséquilibre sympatico-vagual mineur chez les patientes souffrant d'AN de type boulimie/purgation (n =10). D'autre part, les patientes atteintes de TA, en particulier les patientes atteintes d'AN de type boulimie/purgation, souffrent d'une variété d'atteintes psychologiques. Les données indiquent une relation entre la dépression et l'anxiété et les fonctio

Although eating disorders have been the focus of much research, the inclusion of minority populations has been minimal. A recent review of the literature by Dolan (1991) has found that eating disorders were most likely to be present in non-White women who were exposed to Western societies and cultures. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine personality, physical, and cultural correlates of bulimic symptomatology in a sample of African American college women. The Bulimia Test Revised (BULIT-R) was used to assess bulimia symptoms. The African American Acculturation Scale (AAAS), the Beliefs about Attractiveness Scale Revised (BAAR factors 1 and 2), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), the Centers for Epidemiological Depression Scale (CES-D), Body Parts Satisfaction Scale (BPSS), and body mass were the independent variables hypothesized to predict bulimic symptoms. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that body mass, depression, and low self-esteem were the best predictors of bulimic symptomatology, together accounting for 38% of the variance. Beliefs about attractiveness and body satisfaction were related to bulimic symptoms but not when considered simultaneously with the other variables. Acculturation was not predictive of bulimic symptoms. 0-ordered correlations revealed that beliefs about attractiveness and body satisfaction were correlated with bulimic symptoms. Acculturation was not related to any variables except depression. Implications for counseling interventions as well as directions for future research are discussed.

Responding to strong indications in the research that anorexia and bulimia are reaching epidemic proportions in many Westernized nations, including the United States, Paul Garfinkel and David Garner have proposed a three-part model which implicates individual, familial, and sociocultural factors in the development of these multidetermined disorders. The present study uses Garfinkel and Garner's model to investigate factors related to the existence of an eating disorder in women between the ages of 18 and 38. Three groups of subjects were used in the study: an eating-disordered group (bulimics and anorexic bulimics; 18 women), a normal control group (26 women), and a second, depressed control group (24 women). The hypothesis that eating-disordered women were more impaired than normal controls, as measured by individual, familial, and socio-cultural factors, was largely supported, with the exception of the Bem Sex Role Inventory (socio-cultural measure), where little difference was found between groups. The hypothesis that depressed women would look healthier than women with an eating disorder but more dysfunctional than the normal controls was not supported; depressed women tended to look very much like bulimics and anorexic bulimics on the measures used in this study. Further exploration of socio-cultural factors by measures other than the Bem Sex Role Inventory, as well as further investigation of additional similarities--and differences--between depressed women and eating-disordered women would suggest more specific treatment strategies as well as possible prevention techniques for women afflicted by or at risk for an eating disorder.

Aims: This thesis aims to illuminate the experiences of 8 women between the ages of 22-60 who have experienced anorexia nervosa. In particular, the aim is to understand their relationship to food within the context of their wider lived world and relationships. The meaning that anorexic behaviours carried for participants is also looked at in detail. Additionally, attention is paid to the experience of any change that has occurred with their relationship to food, themselves and others. Method: Data was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. This method allows for in-depth data to be gathered on participants’ unique experiences, whilst uncovering commonalities of themes within a homogenous sample group. Embracing reflexivity as a researcher is an equally important part of this thesis. There is a continual engagement with my personal and professional values, beliefs and potential biases that could have influenced the findings of this thesis. Findings: The analysis produced five master themes: 1) Problematic Relationships within the Family, 2) Challenging Relationships and Experiences with the Wider World, 3) A Conflicted Relationship between the Physical and Psychological Sense of Self, 4) A Meaningful Relationship with Food, 5) The Role and Influence of Others in the Process of Change. Discussion: The importance of understanding anorexia nervosa within the context of participants’ wider past and present experiences and relationships was notable. This includes understanding how anorexia relates to their relationship with themselves and their fragile sense of self. There is a perceived need to work collaboratively as counselling psychologists, to ensure that clients have access to a range of therapeutic interventions which focus not just on symptom alleviation, but on deeper problematic relationships.

A preventative intervention program was administered to a non-clinical population deemed at risk for the development of eating disorders. Two-hundred and three women from a large southwestern state university who belonged to four campus sororities participated in the intervention. Members of the two sorority houses served as the control group while members of the other two houses served as the experimental group during the eight-week intervention. The intervention consisted of five workshops involving risk factors identified with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. The intervention included workshops on basic information on eating disorders, exercise, stress management, nutrition, self-esteem, and body image. Compared to the control group, the experimental group displayed significantly lower scores on the Ineffectiveness sub-scale and the Bulimia sub-scale of the Eating Disorder Inventory. The present study demonstrated that a population highly susceptible to disordered eating, was open to and positively affected by, an intervention procedure.

This thesis deals with factors which may be related to faulty body image in anorexic, bulimic, overweight, and non-eating-disordered (ED) women. It was found that anorexic, bulimic, and overweight women overestimated their body sizes whereas non-eating-disordered controls were accurate regardless of assessment method. Additionally, ED women had slimmer notions of average, normal-healthy, ideal and own ideal sizes than did controls. For controls and successful dieters, the larger one perceived oneself to be the larger were one's selection of references sizes; this was not found for anorexic and bulimic women, nor for unsuccessful dieters. Successful dieters in a weight loss program had more accurate body images and selected larger references than did unsuccessful dieters. Body size confrontation resulted in more accurate body image and in more positive attitudes toward dieting in anorexics.
