Here is the essential conceptual and practical information that health care professionals need to understand the phenomenology and physiology of bulimia--a major eating disorder that is both a cause of and a reflection of blocked emotional development. There has been much in the professional and popular literature in the last decade indicating that severe eating disorders and less extreme manifestations of self-induced vomiting, laxative abuse, and binge eating are common among college age women. In The Bulimic College Student, the nation's leading experts skillfully address the topic of bulimia nervosa among this at-risk population. They examine the causes of the disorder and illustrate a variety of approaches that are proving successful in the treatment and prevention of bulimia. They also provide penetrating analyses of the characteristics of bulimia sufferers and the special problems and stressors facing female college students that put them at risk for eating disorders. The Bulimic College Student is timely and valuable to those confronting the epidemic of eating disorders on campus, including health care professionals, college and university faculty and staff, families and friends of college age students, and particularly young women themselves.
