Description
Eating disorders continue to mystify health care providers. The etiology, development, and effective treatment of eating disorders remain unclear in the literature. Using a hermeneutic methodology, this thesis explores the predominance of existing behaviororiented treatment interventions for eating disorders and hosts a dialogue between alternative theoretical perspectives to assist with synthesizing more effective approaches to conceptualizing and treating this intractable condition. Depth psychotherapy, attachment theory, object relations, and family systems theory offer unique perspectives on eating disorders that illuminate the psychological complexities underlying these disorders. The myth of Demeter and Persephone augments the dialogue among the alternative perspectives, providing clarity to the symbolic dimensions of the experience of eating disordered clients and assists with offering clinical implications to marriage and family therapists who work with this clinical population.
