"This chapter considers what eating disorders look like. We also explain why eating disorders can be explained easily when you consider the factors that keep them going. We are going to focus on what maintains your problem rather than focusing on its origins, because tackling your eating disorder (and really any other disorder) is much more likely to be successful if we look at the here-and-now rather than at past factors. As part of this explanation, we are going to help you understand the common factors that maintain the behaviors, emotions and beliefs that are central to eating disorders. It is important to acknowledge that the factors that caused your eating disorder might still be around; if so, then they can play a maintaining role too"-- Provided by publisher.
