An Examination Of The Relationship Between Childhood Sexual Abuse, Dissociation, And Eating Disorders., Patricia Marie Bailey Jan 2000

An Examination Of The Relationship Between Childhood Sexual Abuse, Dissociation, And Eating Disorders., Patricia Marie Bailey

Thirty-four female subjects meeting DSM-IV criteria for Bulimia Nervosa (n = …
