An exploratory case study using multiple cases
investigated the question "What is the meaning of
stealing in eating disordered women?" Seven women
diagnosed with bulimia nervosa participated in in-depth
interviews about this experience. The findings of these
interviews revealed commonalities and variations in the
patterns and dynamics of both stealing and bulimia.
Important information emerged about this experience
regarding restrictive family patterns, participants'
reactions to these restrictions through stealing and the
parallel restrictions and reactions of the bulimic
behaviours they later imposed upon themselves.
These results add new and in-depth information to
the few existing quantitative studies and clinical
knowledge addressing stealing in bulimic women.
Recommendations for future research and implications for
clinical practice were presented.
