| Popis: | Subclinical eating disorders, though considered less severe, are associated with clinically significant impairment in functioning. Guided by feminist theory, the purpose of the present analysis was to identify barriers and facilitators to seeking treatment for those with subclinical eating disorders. Fifteen women between the ages of 18 and 25, with subclinical eating disorder symptoms, and no treatment history were interviewed. Barriers to seeking treatment included a lack of openness with support system, misperceptions regarding subclinical symptoms, and stigma. Supportive relationships are highlighted as a significant facilitator in the process of treatment-seeking. Clinical implications for future research and practice are discussed. |
