Answer to #1

C

Answer to #2

Individuals with eating disorders tend to suffer from low self-esteem, depression, and perceived lack of control. Initial treatment for anorexia focuses on weight gain (by feeding tube, contingent reinforcement for weight gain, or both). Cognitive behavioral and family therapy sessions are common after weight gain, but relapse and continued obsession with weight are common. Bulimia has been somewhat successfully treated with psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and antidepressant medications; the most successful has been a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and use of antidepressant medications. Binge-eating disorder is most commonly treated with cognitive behavior therapy, although it has been more successful in eliminating the binging than in reducing weight.

Answer to #4

a . In anorexia nervosa, a disorder found almost exclusively in women, fear of weight gain leads to self-starvation or eating and purging, with such consequences as low blood pressure and heart disease. Sufferers possess a distorted body image. b. The criteria for bulimia nervosa include eating large quantities of high-caloric foods at least twice weekly for three months, feeling a loss of control over eating, and following eating with compensatory behaviors: self-induced vomiting, purging, or fasting. Much more prevalent than anorexia, bulimia is unrelated to an individual's weight. Binges tend to be related to negative emotions. c. Binge-eating disorder is similar to bulimia nervosa; however, the binge eating is not following by vomiting, excessive exercise, or fasting (i.e., compensatory behaviors).
