The cognitive-behavioral model focuses on distorted cognitions about body shape, weight, eating, and personal control that lead to and maintain unhealthy eating and weight related behaviors. Proponents of the model emphasize the power of thoughts to influence feelings and behaviors in eating disorders. By contrast, sociocultural models emphasize the western cultural preoccupation with thinness as beauty. The sociocultural model traces exposure to the ideal of thinness, to internalization of this ideal, observation of a discrepancy between actual and ideal, body dissatisfaction, dietary restraint, and restriction.

Answer to #4

When anorexia nervosa begins in early adolescence, social and emotional development are clearly interrupted by its medical and psychological consequences. The disorder itself and associated symptoms such as depression, anxiety, social withdrawal, difficulty eating in a social situation, self-consciousness, fatigue, and medical complications can lead to isolation from peers and family. Often recovery requires facing challenges that would normally have been faced years before, such as establishing independence from family, developing trust in relationships, and dating and establishing romantic relationships. Anorexia nervosa has dramatic effects on the family both emotionally and financially. Family meals are often a battleground marked by refusal to eat, power struggles about food, and frustration and tears. Parents struggle to understand as their child becomes increasingly unreachable and unable to think rationally about a function, eating, that to them seems a simple fact of life. The needs of siblings and other family members commonly become secondary to the demands of the eating disorder. This, coupled with the enormous expense of treatment, can wreak havoc on the most functional of families.
