Anorexia nervosa in adolescent males: a review and case study

K W Hamlett et al. Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 1990 Winter.

Abstract

The clinical presentation of anorexia nervosa among males is quite rare. This paper examines the personality and developmental issues of anorexia nervosa in adolescent males through a comprehensive review of the literature and a case presentation. In addition, this paper will demonstrate the application of the empirical literature in the development of a conceptual model to identify critical diagnostic and psychotherapeutic issues within the assessment of a clinically rare case, a male adolescent with anorexia nervosa.
