In this source, Garner describes the research findings from self-reports from 40 anorexic patients. The participants described their symptoms from anorexia. This source won’t be very helpful in my later research because I am not focusing on the symptoms of anorexia but the causes of it. I will probably use this source for background information if I use it in my papers.
Maloney, Katie. "Anorexic Teens Get Boost From Family-Based Therapy - Newsweek." Newsweek - National News, World News, Business, Health, Technology, Entertainment, and More - Newsweek. Web. 21 Oct. 2010.
In this article, Maloney argues that recent research suggests that family-based therapy provides anorexic patients with a better long-term prognosis for recovery rather than individual treatment. These studies have shown that “including the family…leads to a faster, more complete, recovery…” This will be helpful with my research because from the books I have used so far, many claim that familial issues are one of the causes of a patient developing anorexia. Although it is not the main cause, it is still a major factor in the onset of anorexia.
Minuchin, Salvador. "AGRIS Repository Search Result." Search AGRIS - from 1975 to Date | AGRIS :: International Information System for the Agricultural Sciences and Technology. Web. 02 Nov. 2010.
This source discussed the family influence on patients with anorexia nervosa and how they affect the onset of the disorder. This source will be helpful to me because many of the sources I have used have talked about the affects of family atmospheres and how developing anorexia is a type of rebellion against the family and also an attempt at controlling an aspect of their life.
Tozzi, Federica. "Causes and Recovery in Anorexia Nervosa: The Patient's Perspective - Tozzi - 2003 - International Journal of Eating Disorders." Wiley Online Library. 25 Feb. 2003. Web. 02 Nov. 2010.
This source is about anorexic patients and their stories about their struggles with anorexia. They discuss what caused the onset and what made them seek out treatment and what helped them to recover. The source discusses the method and results from the specific treatment and then describes what they have found: that individuals with anorexia are affected by external and internal problems that cause the disorder. This source is helpful to my research because I am researching the causes of anorexia and this helps prove that there is not one individual factor in developing anorexia.
