The role of personality in the onset of eating disorders and treatment implications.
The relationship of personality and eating disorders is largely unclear. The development of well-specified conceptual models of this relationship, developments in family history, behavior genetic and prospective longitudinal research methodology, and careful consideration of how trait constructs may interact with state variables to produce or maintain eating disorders all will help to advance this area of research.
