โœฆ Synopsis

The evidence suggests that the eating disorders are now reaching "epidemic" proportions. However, it is noteworthy that this "epidemic" has been recognized only in the white female population. Indeed, little has changed since Bruch (1965) commented upon the "conspicuous absence" of black anorectic patients in New York.

Given the vast amount of research currently being published on eating disorders it is noticeable that the issues of culture, race, and ethnicity are lost often in the small print of results sections or given only passing mention in discussions. Sociocultural influences in the etiology of eating disorders are well recognized (Garner & Garfinkel 1980;Garner, Garfinkel, & Olmstead, 1983;Habermas, 1990) and ethnicity is surely among the most powerful sociocultural variables existing. This review pulls together information about ethnicity and eating disorders from a variety of case series, epidemiological surveys, and clinical case reports in recent scientific literature.

As is suggested in the preยฎx of this book it is indeed surprising that so little has been published speciยฎcally addressing the question of eating disorders in adolescence. When we consider the numbers involved this is doubly surprising. I think this book then ยฎlls an important gap in this area. The

## Introduction: Many theories attribute anorexia and bulimia nervosa to "pathological narcissism," but this conception has not been adequately evaluated. ## Method: We compared the scores of 90 eating disorder (ed) sufferers (23 anorexic restricters, 14 anorexic bingers, and 53 bulimics) with th
