Very interesting article and theory. I can see how that approach coupled with psychological counseling might be more successful. It didn't address the distorted body image that anorexics have, so I'd be interested to hear what she thinks about the cause of that (i. e. how they can be skeletal and still see a fat person in the mirror). Thanks for sharing.
