Abstract

Psychology anorexia bulimia obesity health behaviours treatment
Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia and obesity) do not develop overnight. Instead, there is typically a history of maladaptive eating behaviours evident from childhood or adolescence. This report highlights some of the major theoretical bases (from a psychological perspective) that are thought to underpin the development of maladaptive eating behaviours, and how to respond in the early stages to prevent a spiral into more serious psychopathologies (such as anorexia or bulimia). The report covers how treatment providers can practically incorporate psychological principles into the design of programmes to treat a young person within the early stages of maladaptive eating.
