Handbook on eating disorders for dance teachers: A guide to understanding anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and promoting proper nutrition in young female dancers

Description

This project discusses the problem of eating disorders in dancers. The development of eating disorders can be attributed to sociocultural development, and psychological factors. Dance places an emphasis on thinness, and the pressure to obtain ideal standards of thinness appear to be particularly salient in the development of eating disorders in dancers.
