Eating disorders vary in severity from developmental difficulties
in adolescence which may be transitory, to serious and chronic
mental illnesses. The Anorexic Mind offers a coherent approach to
these difficult and demanding problems, always underlining the
point that while many of the manifestations are physical, eating
disorders have their origins as well as their solutions, in the
mind. While anorexia nervosa may be considered the central syndrome
in eating disorders, this book also considers how it links and
differs from bulimia nervosa, the more common, related disorder. In
the process of the research on anorexia and bulimia, valuable
insights have been gained into the very common problem of
overeating. The author takes a developmental approach to eating
disorders, and is very aware of the continuities between infantile,
adolescent and adult experience. Our earliest relationship is a
feeding relationship and feeding difficulties early in life are not
rare.
