A descriptive approach to bulimia
Abstract
The many labels applied to bulimia and its frequent association with anorexia nervosa have often created confusion about its characteristics and causes. Recent research reveals a variety of bulimic types, some without histories of anorexia and with different treatment needs and prognoses. To clarify discussions among researchers and aid clinical decisions, the author proposes replacing the labels with broader descriptions.
