  • Summary

    This chapter describes pseudoscience and questionable ideas related to eating disorders (EDs) – anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. The chapter opens by considering challenges associated with assessment and diagnosis. Common myths are explored, such as the idea that all exercise is good exercise. Dubious treatments include group and inpatient treatment, complementary and alternative medicine, online self-help, and fad diets. The chapter closes by reviewing research-supported approaches.
