Essay:
Student answers will vary but should include elements of the suggested answers given below.

111) Provide an overview of DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa. Include a
discussion of associated features.

ANSWER: Anorexia nervosa is marked by weight loss (or failure to gain weight in youth
who are still growing) leading to a body weight of less than 85% of that expected.
Despite low weight, individuals with anorexia nervosa have an intense fear of gaining
weight or becoming fat. They may also have a disturbance in the way in which they
experience their body weight or shape, place extreme importance on their body weight or
shape as measures of self-evaluation, deny the seriousness of their low body weight,
and/or stop having menstrual periods as a consequence of low body weight. In the
restricting type, individuals do not engage in binge eating or purging behaviour. In the
binge eating/purging type, people do engage in regular binge eating or purging behaviour.

112) Phyllis and her husband were regulars at Annabelle’s Restaurant. Every Saturday night,
they arrived promptly at 7:00 PM to begin Phyllis’s first dinner meal of the evening. While she
ordered a complete dinner featuring prime rib, baked potato, vegetables and a house salad, her
husband nursed a cup of coffee. Following dinner, the wait staff cleared the table and replaced
the silverware before the couple joining Phyllis and her husband for an 8:30 PM dinner arrived.
Phyllis ordered a meal identical to the one she had eaten earlier and this dinner proceeded as if
this were her first evening meal. Following the second dinner, she routinely went to the ladies’
room for approximately one half hour. Upon her return, the couples left the restaurant. Despite
the large quantity of food she consumed every Saturday evening, Phyllis was rail thin, weighing
approximately 100 lbs. at a height of 5’10”. Several wait staff believed that this pattern was
repeated at least one other time each week at a neighboring restaurant.

224
On the basis of the information presented, what diagnosis would you expect would be most
likely to be given to Phyllis, and what other associated clinical features might you expect to find
in this case?

ANSWER: Phyllis is most likely suffering from anorexia nervosa, binge eating/purging
subtype. Her behaviour of bingeing dinners followed by lengthy visits to the restroom, as
well as her below average body weight, are suggestive of the disorder. It is most likely
that Phyllis has an intense fear of gaining weight and may commonly complain of
“feeling fat” despite the physical evidence that she is underweight. She may also
associate her weight with her sense of self-worth, and fluctuations in her weight may
result in a downward spiral of self-esteem. As a consequence of low body weight, Phyllis
may have amenorrhea, and she may be experiencing denial of her illness and resist
treatment.

114) Discuss the relationship between personality and risk for anorexia nervosa.

ANSWER: Some personality traits do seem to come before the eating disorder, get worse
during the eating disorder, and often persist after recovery. The most important is
perfectionism. People who develop anorexia nervosa are often described as model
children and model students who set extremely high standards for themselves. They also
apply that perfectionism to their pursuit of thinness and hold themselves to dieting
standards above what others could possibly attain. Other common personality factors are
obsessionality, neuroticism, and low self-esteem. This cluster of personality traits may
help explain why adolescence and young adulthood are typical risk periods for the
development of eating disorders. Many of the developmental tasks of this life period
involve substantial change and encounters with unfamiliar stimuli. Such transitions can
be challenging for healthy youth. People who are worriers, tend toward unwavering
perfectionism, and find change difficult may experience this period of life as a trigger for
an underlying predisposition for eating disorders.

115) What evidence exists to support the notion that bulimia nervosa may be more of a culture-
bound syndrome than anorexia nervosa?

ANSWER: Individuals born after 1960 are at greater risk for the disorder, suggesting that
bulimia nervosa is a more modern disorder than anorexia nervosa. Some believe it
reflects the trend beginning in the 1960’s toward thinner cultural ideals of beauty. It also
tends to be more common in urban areas, suggesting social learning, environmental
exposure, or information transfer may play a role in the development of the disorder.
Anorexia nervosa, by contrast, has been identified as existing even in ancient cultures and
psychologists are unsure as to whether or not we are seeing an actual increase in the rate
of cases or the incidence of the disorder is remaining stable. There is no mention in the
text that anorexia nervosa trends are reflective of a particular culture or that increases in
incidence rates are related to specific time period within a culture.

116) As disorders, bulimia and anorexia nervosa have significant commonalities and differences
in personality characteristics. Present an overview of key findings in this area.

ANSWER: People with bulimia nervosa share some personality features with those who have
anorexia nervosa, primarily perfectionism and low self-esteem, but differences also exist.
Unlike the classic restricting subtype of anorexia nervosa, people with bulimia tend to be
more impulsive and have higher novelty-seeking behaviour. These different personality
traits are intriguing and reflect the symptom profiles of the disorders. Individuals with the
restricting subtype of anorexia nervosa display more rigid and obsessional personalities-
congruent with their rigid eating patterns. By contrast, those with bulimia nervosa exhibit
more erratic and impulsive traits-consistent with the impulsive and fluctuating nature of
alternating starving, binge eating, and compensatory behaviours.

ANSWER:
Pica has many different causes. Iron and zinc deficiencies may result in the
urge to ingest certain foods or substances, but many people without these conditions
also engage in pica. Environmental factors (stress and impoverished living
environments) or developmental disorders are important causal factors. Among people without
psychological disorders, pica sometimes begins after

118) How, and in what ways, are the social and psychological effects of anorexia nervosa as
disruptive as the physical toll of the disorder?

ANSWER: When anorexia nervosa begins in early adolescence, social and emotional
development are clearly interrupted by its medical and psychological consequences. The
disorder itself and associated symptoms such as depression, anxiety, social withdrawal,
difficulty eating in a social situation, self-consciousness, fatigue, and medical
complications can lead to isolation from peers and family. Often recovery requires facing
challenges that would normally have been faced years before, such as establishing
independence from family, developing trust in relationships, and dating and establishing
romantic relationships. Anorexia nervosa has dramatic effects on the family both
emotionally and financially. Family meals are often a battleground marked by refusal to
eat, power struggles about food, and frustration and tears. Parents struggle to understand
as their child becomes increasingly unreachable and unable to think rationally about a
function, eating, that to them seems a simple fact of life. The needs of siblings and other
family members commonly become secondary to the demands of the eating disorder.
This, coupled with the enormous expense of treatment, can wreak havoc on the most
functional of families.

119) Compare and contrast the theoretical approaches of the cognitive-behavioural and
sociocultural perspectives on eating disorders.

ANSWER: The cognitive-behavioural model focuses on distorted cognitions about body


shape, weight, eating, and personal control that lead to and maintain unhealthy eating and
weight related behaviours. Proponents of the model emphasize the power of thoughts to
influence feelings and behaviours in eating disorders. By contrast, sociocultural models
emphasize the western cultural preoccupation with thinness as beauty. The sociocultural
model traces exposure to the ideal of thinness, to internalization of this ideal, observation
of a discrepancy between actual and ideal, body dissatisfaction, dietary restraint, and
restriction.

person suffering from anorexia nervosa.

Copyright © 2018by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

227
ANSWER: Treatment of anorexia nervosa is best accomplished using a multidisciplinary
team. Psychotherapy is difficult to conduct when the patient is acutely ill because her
ability to think is impaired by starvation. Weight is not the only factor to consider when
deciding on inpatient care. Other important factors to consider include medical
complications, suicide attempts or plans, failure to improve with outpatient treatment,
comorbid psychiatric disorders, interference with school, work, or family, poor social
support, pregnancy, and the unavailability of other treatment options.

121) Describe the cognitive-behavioural approach to the treatment of eating disorders. Include
core elements of the paradigm.

ANSWER: Cognitive-behavioural treatment (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking as they


influence eating patterns. The cognitive-behavioural model focuses on distorted
cognitions about body shape, weight, eating, and personal control that lead to and
maintain unhealthy eating and weight related behaviours. Proponents of the model
emphasize the power of thoughts to influence feelings and behaviours in eating disorders.
The therapist addresses both relatively easily accessible thoughts (automatic thoughts)
and deeper core beliefs. Treatment involves challenging distorted cognitions and
replacing them with health-promoting alternatives. The cognitive component of CBT
appears to be the most critical for behaviour change.
In the treatment of bulimia, self-monitoring is a primary focus. Patients keep track
of what they ate, whether it was a binge or purge episode, the situation they were in, who
else was present, and their thoughts and feelings. By analyzing the data, high risk
situations for binge eating and purging may be identified. Subsequent steps involve
mastering the language and concepts of CBT, including recognizing thoughts, feelings,
and behaviours that are associated with unhealthy eating behaviour; learning to recognize
cues for and consequences of disordered eating; learning to control automatic thoughts;
and learning to restructure distorted cognitions that perpetuate unhealthy eating
behaviours.
