Family Structure and Eating Disorders: The Family Environment Scale and Bulimic-Like Symptoms.
Bailey, Carol A.
Youth and Society, v23 n2 p251-72 Dec 1991
Family variables derived from the Family Environment Scale are examined using data from 174 college women at a Pacific Northwest university and 2 universities in Houston (Texas) with varying degrees of bulimia. Subjects' self-reports indicate family dysfunctions, but the study illustrates the complexity of the family's role in bulimia. (SLD)
