Explaining False Belief in Eating Disorders
These papers attempt to explain why some people with eating disorders hold false beliefs about their own body size—why they believe that they are overweight when, in fact, they are thin, often dangerously so. I argue that the cause of such beliefs are misleading experiences of body size, which stem from distorted body representations (see the ‘Body Representation’ project). I’m also interested in the implications of this account for the rationality of eating disorders.
