There is a mantra which is worth remembering; there is no single cause of any eating disorder. All eating disorders emerge from dieting behaviour, so dieting has some role in triggering a bulimic pathway. This can best be understood by considering the side effects of dieting. Several key studies: The Minnesota Starvation Studies, studies by Herman and Polivy and accounts of starvation in various historical contexts such as the Holocaust – demonstrate that dieting or starving has many long-term side effects, the most common being cravings and not being able to regulate eating. Dieting also leads to depression and disturbances of body image. For a review of the psychological literature on dieting please contact NCFED. Established bulimia is associated with the following risk factors which include, in no order of importance: The culture and exposure to pressures to lose weight and unhelpful eating messages.

Emotional neglect in childhood.

It was a common myth that bulimia is a sign of sexual abuse. The prevalence of sexual or physical abuse among bulimics is no greater than we would expect in a population of normal eaters. We do however look for other kinds of traumatic experiences such as dyslexia, bullying, family tensions and loss which have caused unbearable stress. Long term stress leads to hypervigilance and emotions which can become over-aroused in a variety of situations. We estimate that almost 8 in 10 bulimia sufferers suffer from full or partial Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (Vandereycken) and the function of bulimia in this case might be to distract oneself from emotions that are excessive and dangerous. Every day I came home from school I looked up at the window and if the curtains were closed, I knew that my mum was in bed. I would try and find another place to eat my supper and I would eat as much as I could in case there was no breakfast the next day. Bulimic male aged 50. Family styles where there is a lot of drama or other addictive behaviour and lack of stability. My father was a drunk; we would have to keep out of the way and be good or he would take it out on mum. She always tried to keep the peace. Then he just took off and we were left to fend for ourselves. Bulimic woman aged 35 Too much weight concern in the family. Dieting mothers are associated with daughters who have body image issues and bulimia has been associated with weight comments and weight loss encouragement by fathers. Jenny is 14 years old and overweight. Her father told her that she needed to lose a few pounds and would give her some money if she did. Jenny tried to diet and found it hard, so she hit upon the idea of vomiting her evening meal. Within a short space of time she found it difficult to eat anything without having to get rid of it. She has discovered that the more she purges, the hungrier she becomes, and she has come to see a therapist in a very desperate state.

Personality style such as Risk-taking, Impulsive and Perfectionist.

Difficulty with expressing and managing feelings – which might be associated with long term stress or difficulties in the family. Difficulty trusting and getting emotional needs met by other people: Most people with bulimia find it hard to express their views about many things that are important to them; this is an observation we have made after many years of working with patients. I am jealous because my sister is flirting with my boyfriend, but I can’t tell her. I sit and watch it happening and I don’t say anything. It’s wrong to be jealous isn’t it and she would tell me that I’m pathetic. Bulimic woman aged 29. I waited and waited for my dad to show me some thanks for taking care of him and he never did. Bulimic male aged 42 We all lost our voice, didn’t we? Bulimic doctor at workshop aged 32 Anything that has caused poor body image such as a history of weight gain and being fat- teased. I had kidney problems when I was 4 and I had to take steroids. I can still remember the fat on my waist spilling over my trousers. There is no need to look for a cause of bulimia. We are more interested in discovering the risk factors and how they may have undermined each person’s ability to flourish in life. It is also important to find out what was going on just before the bulimia started. It helps us to learn what might be “missing” that allowed the eating disorder to take hold. Bulimia usually emerges at a time of personal stress. It might be the breakup of a relationship or difficulties coping at school.
