Abstract
Eating disorders represent potentially life-threatening conditions that impede physical, emotional, and behavioral growth and development. The prognosis is positive if an adolescent’s eating disorder is treated soon after its onset; otherwise, the disorder may become a chronic condition by adulthood, with devastating and sometimes irreversible medical, behavioral, and emotional consequences (Lask & Bryant-Waugh, 1993).
