Disordered Eating in Women of Color: Some Counseling Considerations
Talleyrand, Regine M.
Journal of Counseling & Development, v90 n3 p271-280 Jul 2012
There is little attention devoted to studying eating disorder symptoms in racially and ethnically diverse groups despite the fact that the prevalence rates among women of color for eating disorder symptoms are similar to those of European American women. This article reviews research related to eating disorders in women of color, including a discussion of sociocultural factors that could influence the manifestation of eating disorders in women of color. Considerations for counseling practice and research are provided.
