This reading is a little much for me.. but it does provide good information.

This website provides great details on the various causes for eating disorders. I definitely was not aware of some of these causes so this is a great basis for getting at the root of the problem.

This page is inaccurate and heavily biased toward a view of external cause and family pathology. Genetics and biology are now understood to be far more important in causing eating disorders than any of the other factors listed. Some, like family pathology, have been discredited by modern clinicians. For an updated and scientifically based overview of cause, I suggest: http://www.gurze.com/client/client_pages/newsletter22.cfm http://eatingdisorders.ucsd.edu/NeurobiologyPage.html
