Gender – Feeding and Eating Disorders

Gender – Feeding and Eating Disorders

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERS ON Gender – Feeding and Eating Disorders

Baring her naked, 60-pound figure, French model Isabella Caro posed for a series of advertisements warning of the dangers of eating disorders. Suffering from Anorexia Nervosa, Caro’s photos captured the grim physical and mental effects of the eating disorder. Her gaunt frame and vacant, hopeless stare conveyed the life of many who suffer from the disorder (Grimes, 2010). Typically, eating disorders are categorized by a persistent disturbance in eating and eating-related behaviors.

For this Discussion, consider the eating behaviors of the client in the case study. Think about how an individual’s control of eating habits becomes an abnormality in eating behavior.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a diagnosis for the male client in the case study and explain your rationale for assigning these diagnoses on the basis of the DSM. Then explain how gender and culture impact the presentation of an eating disorder. Be specific.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and current literature.

Feeding and Eating Disorders Feeding and Eating Disorders Program Transcript [MUSIC PLAYING] MALE SPEAKER: All things considered, I’m doing pretty well. I own my own consulting firm. I help online businesses identify and build their customer base. The company keeps growing every year, so I’m kept pretty busy. I’ve got I made, really. I have more free time to play with than most people, a lot more. But to be honest, I’m not happy with my life right now. I wouldn’t be otherwise, right? FEMALE SPEAKER: So tell me what’s going on for you. MALE SPEAKER: Well, I can’t seem to keep a relationship going. I have so much good in my life right now, but just not that. I’ll start going out with someone a couple of times, and they stop returning my calls. I used to think that it was just a run of bad luck, but now I know that it’s me. I’m just not very attractive. I think that’s what happened with my last real boyfriend. We were together for eight months, and never came right out and said it, but I know the reason he ended things– it was because I was just too fat. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to get rid of these right here, my love handles. FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, it sounds as if you exercise some, because you look in shape. MALE SPEAKER: I do. I should. I run five miles a day. I go to the gym a couple times a week and lift weights. Gender – Feeding and Eating Disorders
I even take a hot yoga class. But it might look like I’m in shape, but trust me, I need to burn more weight. FEMALE SPEAKER: You’re what, 6 foot, 5’11”? How much do you weigh? MALE SPEAKER: 155, but 155 pounds of flab. Don’t get me wrong. I know you might– I don’t purge or anything. What goes in my belly stays there. FEMALE SPEAKER: Tell me about your diet. What are your eating habits? MALE SPEAKER: I eat two meals a day, breakfast, lunch. That’s it, no dinner. I drink a lot of protein mixes. I’ll have a smoothie every now and then, but as long as it’s low fat. No alcohol, that’s fattening. And definitely no pot. If you smoke that, you’ll eat the whole grocery store. ©2013 Laureate Education, Inc. 1 Feeding and Eating Disorders FEMALE SPEAKER: When was the last time you had a physical? MALE SPEAKER: Three months ago. Everything was great. Blood pressure, cholesterol,. I’ve never had sick day in my life. Never seen a shrink, either. You know what my GP said last time I was there, putting my clothes back on? You’re too skinny. You know what I said to him? Brother, you can never be too rich or too thin.
