1. AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION
Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients With Eating Disorders
The APA practice guideline, revised in January of 2000, organizes
the discussion of treatment around such issues as weight and
physiologic concerns, eating disorder behavior, eating disorder
attitudes and cognition, and special populations.

4. ATHEALTH.COM
Battling an Eating Disorder
Though statistics show that 1 percent of young females in this country suffer with bulimia, the numbers most likely do not reflect the enormity of the problem, as bulimia is among the most frequently missed diagnoses.
5. MEDSCAPE

Binge eating, without compensatory anti-obesity behaviors of any type, has only recently been accepted as a distinct psychiatric
condition. (Free Medscape registration is required.)
