“…Belangee, Sherman, and Kern (2003) examined lifestyle personality attributes and found that the need to please and have the approval of others was positively correlated with perfectionism and drive for thinness on the Eating Disorder Inventory. While women with BN desire social approval, they often report lack of social self-confidence (Rogers & Petrie, 2001).…”

“…Obsessionality. Obsessionality is associated with BN (Patton, 1992;Rogers & Petrie, 2001). In one study, individuals with BN reported that they thought about weight significantly more often than individuals who just purged, met DSM qualification for Eating Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified, chronic dieters, bingers, and controls (Mintz & Betz, 1988).…”

“…Relatedly, according to Costa and McCrae (1992), individuals high in Angry Hostility (N2) are easily frustrated and those high in Vulnerability (N6) are likely to feel that they are unable to cope with stress. Additionally, research has indicated that individuals with BN lack social self-confidence (Rogers & Petrie, 2001) which is represented by low scores on the Self-Consciousness (N4) facet as a proneness to feeling uncomfortable around and inferior to others (Costa & McCrae, 1992). Individuals with BN have been found to have high harm avoidance which indicates a tendency to respond to stressful situations with behavioral inhibition, fear, anxiety, and depression (Bloks et al, 2004;Diaz-Marsa et al, 2000).…”

Bulimia Nervosa is a serious and often debilitating mental disorder conceptualized as an endpoint along the spectrum of eating disorders, which ranges from normal eating and no preoccupation with weight to clinical eating disorders. Presently, little is known about what factors distinguish individuals who engage in behaviors in varying degrees of severity along the spectrum although there are indications that personality may be one distinguishing characteristic. This study explored the relationship between the Costa and McCrae's (1985; 1992) Five Factor Model of personality and the spectrum of bulimic behaviors and attitudes as measured by the Bulimia Test-Revised (Thelen, Farmer, Wonderlich & Smith, 1991) and the Eating Disorder Inventory-Third Edition (Garner, 2004) in 237 college females.Hierarchical regressions and partial correlations indicated that neuroticism was the only Five Factor Model domain uniquely associated with bulimic symptomology.Facets of impulsiveness, depression, and excitement-seeking were also associated with bulimic symptomology. Anxiety, a facet of Neuroticism, was not significantly associated with bulimic symptomology. An exploratory factor analysis revealed that bulimic symptomology forms its own factor and is not subsumed in Five Factor Model space, although facet impulsiveness and depression loaded onto the bulimic symptomology factor.These results suggest that individuals who possess personality traits of impulsiveness, excitement-seeking and depression are more likely to report bulimic symptomology. Prevention and treatment efforts may be modified based on these personality traits. Additional research is needed to determine the etiological role these personality factors may play in the development of bulimia. Additionally, the results of this study support facet versus factor or domain level analysis of the Five Factor Model.

“…Irrational food choices, such as overindulging in diet foods or high‐fat foods, might also indicate a problem (ANAD, 2005). Psychological indicators of a potential eating disorder can include overconcern with body shape or weight and a need for constant reassurance of appearance, perfectionism, concern with pleasing others, rigidity related to food or body image, social withdrawal including isolation from family and friends, depressed mood, mood swings and/or irritability, high anxiety, obsessiveness, and decreased concentration (ANAD, 2005; Rogers & Petrie, 2001; Seligman, 1998). Counselors are encouraged to consider a cluster of behavioral and psychological factors when they suspect that a student has an eating disorder.…”

School counselors play a crucial role in the prevention, assessment, treatment, and overall management of eating‐related problems among children and adolescents. This article provides a framework for conceptualizing these difficulties on a continuum of severity and includes recommendations at each level for intervention and consultation. Collaboration with other professionals is encouraged when confronted with these multifaceted issues. Efforts by school counselors are vital to prevention and recovery from eating disorders.

“…Contrarily, adolescents with restricting EDs have noted the cost and unhealthy impact of substances as key factors in their decision not to consume substances (Stock et al, ). Also, patients with AN‐R tend to display high levels of avoidance and obsessional behaviors, which may influence their decision not to consume substances (Degortes, Zanetti, Tenconi, Santonastaso, & Favaro, ; Harrop & Marlatt, ; Hildebrandt et al, ; Kachani, Barroso, Brasiliano, Hochgraf, & Cordás, ; Rogers & Petrie, ; Wildes, Ringham, & Marcus, ).…”

Objective: The relationship between eating disorders (EDs) and substance use (SU) has only been briefly described in literature using mainly adult populations. This study examined the prevalence and characteristics of SU among patients of an adolescent ED outpatient treatment program.Method: A retrospective chart analysis was conducted to determine and subsequently compare medical status, psychosocial factors, treatment course and outcome between patients with and without SU.Results: Over 60% of patients with SU status (n = 203) reported regularly consuming substances. 33.4% of substance users received a diagnosis involving purging behaviors compared to 5.9% of nonusers. Females composed 96.4% and 81.7% of users and nonusers, respectively.Users reported significantly more self-harm (57.7% of users vs. 38.6% of nonusers) but did not differ significantly in terms of trauma (abuse or victimization; 48.3% of users vs. 44.9% of nonusers). The percentage of ideal body weight significantly improved throughout treatment and did not differ by SU with a mean increase of 5.29% (SD = 13.6) among nonusers compared to 5.45% (SD = 7.5) of users. While users and nonusers did not differ before and after treatment in ED severity, users were more likely than nonusers to drop-out of treatment (41.5% of users vs. 25.2% of nonusers).Discussion: Adolescents with SU benefit from ED outpatient treatment as much as those without SU, however, users are more likely to drop-out. Therefore, treatment should target these adolescents' emotional dysregulation to improve treatment compliance. Further research is necessary to determine the efficacy of such an approach.adolescent, anorexia, bulimia, feeding and eating disorders, outpatients, retrospective studies, self-injurious behavior, substance-related disorders
