dc.description.abstractThis study reviews the literature on binge eating in the context of the eating disorders anorexia nervosa and bulimia and the weight disorder obesity. Binge eating, defined as the episodic, uncontrolled ingestion of large quantities of food is common to these three conditions. The available research is examined historically and methodologically; the development of the field is assessed. The semantic and conceptual confusion in the eating and weight disorder literature is discussed as is the spectrum of disordered eating patterns. A clinical description reviews demographic information , prevalence, incidence, frequency, intensity , precipitants, setting, duration and termination of binge eating episodes as well as related behaviour, compensatory strategies (i .e., dieting, vomiting) and the consequences . Psychological constructs associated with binge eating behaviour are described. The social and cultural factors that effect women differentially are discussed . A risk-factor etiological model is described. Biological, psychological and sociological treatment strategies specific to binge eating are presented. The presentation of the information is designed to assist counsellors who treat binge eaters.
