Hernandez, Jeanne
Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, v4 n3 p73-85 1995
Examines the relationship between eating disorders and history of physical abuse, incest, and extrafamilial sexual abuse. Results of a survey of adolescents (n=6,224) indicate that eating disorders are correlated with all 3 types of abuse. Presence of an eating disorder also correlates with presence of other addictive behaviors, family history of substance abuse, low self-esteem, hopelessness, and anxiety. (JPS)
