Social support, social adjustment, and recovery status in bulimia nervosa
Article Abstract:
Aspects of suffering from bulimia nervosa (BN) may make it hard for bulimic women to sustain a network of family and friends that offers support at deeper levels, particularly emotionally. It is also possible that problems with maintaining meaningful relationships make these women vulnerable to developing an eating disorder. Relationships with relatives are potentially the most problematic social relationships for women with BN, particularly during the recovery phase. Many bulimic women feel isolated from their family, unless they have revealed their condition and have received a positive response.
