Description Week 4: Psychological Disorders: Eating Disorders and Substance-Related Disorders Your survey of the major types of psychological disorders takes you this week to an examination of eating disorders and substance-related disorders. This review of eating disorders will include information on the diagnosis and treatment of both anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Often considered to be almost exclusively Caucasian female disorders, they now, unfortunately, are afflicting increasing numbers of males, as well as women from other ethnic groups. This week, you will get a chance to examine and discuss this shifting landscape of eating disorders. In addition, in your review of substance-related disorders, you will examine and evaluate the following two major controversies: (1) Can someone with a substance-related disorder ever engage in controlled drug use? (2) Does someone with a substance-related disorder really have a “disease”? The stage is set for another interesting week in your survey of the major types of psychological disorders. Discussion: Eating Disorders: Sociological Factors For many years, researchers and clinicians who work with individuals with eating disorders including anorexia and bulimia have been dedicated to working predominantly with Caucasian females. For example, as noted in Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology, “Between 75 and 90 percent of all cases of anorexia nervosa occur in females” (Comer, 2019, p. 266). However, this may be changing in some significant ways, as evidenced in the video program entitled The Perfect Image. This documentary on eating disorders in elite gymnasts depicts one man’s experiences with anorexia nervosa, demonstrating that eating disorders can also affect men. In a similar way, the section titled “Multicultural Factors: Racial and Ethnic Differences,” beginning on page 280 in the textbook, highlights increasing similarities between women from other ethnic minority groups and Caucasian American women with respect to their concerns about weight and appearance, their dieting practices, and their vulnerability to the development of eating disorders. In this week’s Discussion, you will comment on and share your reactions to this changing landscape for eating disorders. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the Learning Resources on eating disorders, including the article by Jackson & Chen (2015). Consider the role of sociocultural factors in some of these recent developments in the area of eating disorders. Post an analysis of the sociocultural risk factors contributing to a rise in eating disorders in both men and women in a variety of racial and ethnic groups. Include in your analysis an explanation of the factors that present the most risk for these groups, as well as your thoughts about why there has been an increase in and “spread” of these disorders. Be sure to justify your response with citations from the Learning Resources as well as at least one outside resource. Finally, given your new understanding regarding the development of eating disorders, comment on whether you think it is possible to develop a comprehensive sociocultural risk factor model and why (refer to Chapter 2, “Models of Abnormality”) please answer very thoroughly. I will attach grading rubric and other resources we need to use for assignment I will also send 2 different google drive links for chapt 9 and chapter 2 in our book please cite all references using in-text citation and also a reference list at bottom of assignment the citation for the chapter book is: Comer, R.
