The first section of this paper reviews the literature on the incidence, clinical findings, and outcome of anorexia nervosa. Methodological problems with outcome statistics and data on the family background of anorexic patients are discussed. The remainder of this paper evaluates the etiological and therapeutic approaches of psychodynamic, family interactional, behavioral, and medical models. The problems inherent in viewing anorexia nervosa as either a physiological or psychological disorder are considered. The importance of continuing research into all facets of anorexia nervosa is emphasized.
