The Prevention Researcher,
Volume 9, Number 5, 2002, Pages 8-9

Abstract:

Teens with Eating Disorders is full of case studies, or interviews, with people who had eating disorders. Each individual gives his or her personal history, including the beginnings of their eating disorders, side effects, treatments received, and lessons learned. The interviewees encompass a diverse background, so most readers will be able to develop a clearer understanding of the causes of the disorder by relating personal experiences to those of the subjects.
