"It seems to me that you are one of the clinicians that are viewing eating disorders as a diet that's gone wrong - at least to some degree. When this is done those that view it as a mental illness have trouble arguing points, because as Laura Collins put it we're doing an apples and oranges comparison.
If you're viewing it as a diet, then you are putting it into a category where someone can just quit doing whatever they're doing. You're saying that certain things can be the absolute cause of it. Really though, they're not causes rather catalysts that set off this predisposed mental illness.
If you're not predisposed to have that mental illness then no matter what circumstances surround you, you aren't going to develop an eating disorder.
If we were to focus on your article and the belief that people whose parents have no boundaries, then why doesn't everybody with a horrid child - whose parents behaved in that matter - develop an eating disorder?
It's because they're not predisposed to the development of that mental illness.?
