Objective To review evidence of the validity and clinical utility of Purging Disorder and examine options for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fifth edition (DSM-V). Method Articles were identified by computerized and manual searches and reviewed to address five questions about Purging Disorder: Is there “ample” literature? Is the syndrome clearly defined? Can it be measured and diagnosed reliably? Can it be differentiated from other eating disorders? Is there evidence of syndrome validity? Results Although empirical classification and concurrent validity studies provide emerging support for the distinctiveness of Purging Disorder, questions remain about definition, diagnostic reliability in …

Psychological Factors In The Etiology Of Binge Eating, Ruth H. Striegel-Moore
Ruth Striegel Weissman
Numerous psychological factors have been hypothesized to play a role in the etiology of binge eating. This chapter proposes that female gender-role socialization puts girls at risk for the development of binge eating. Moreover, it is proposed that an understanding of risk requires an exploration of the developmental tasks of female adolscence. As research of the etiology of binge eating in particular and eating disorders in general begins to move away from testing single-factor causal models and toward testing complex, multifactorial models of causation, research needs to examine the psychological factors discussed in this chapter.

The prevalence of disordered eating among college students was assessed at the beginning and the end of the freshman year. The study aimed to identify factors related to worsening of disordered eating during the year. Questionnaires were completed by 590 males and 450 females at baseline and 546 males and 403 females at follow-up. At baseline, the prevalence of bulimia nervosa was 3.8% for females and 0.2% for males. The prevalence of ordered eating symptoms was considerably higher. The prevalence of bulimia nervosa at follow-up was virtually unchanged. However, many students experienced an onset of disordered eating during the year. …

Psychological And Behavioral Correlates Of Feeling Fat In Women, Ruth Striegel-Moore, Gail Mcavay, Judith Rodin
Ruth Striegel Weissman
Because feeling fat may be an important risk factor in bulimia, two studies were conducted to investigate the psychological and behavioral variables associated with feeling fat and dissatisfied with one's body. In the first study, 46 female undergraduates completed a series of questions measuring a variety of psychological variables related to body image and weight. Regression analysis found live variables that were significantly related to feeling fat: percent overweight, perfectionism, perceived social pressure toward thinness, social comparison regarding weight, and the degree to which failure experiences affect feelings about one's body. Feeling fat was also highly correlated with perceived lack …
