I disturbi del comportamento alimentare (DCA): riflessioni e problematiche

Abstract

Eating disorders (ED) are an important cause of physical and psychosocial morbidity in adolescents and young adults, characterized by aberrant patterns of eating behavior and weight regulation and by disturbances in attitudes towards weight and perception of body shape. This article, through the description of a clinical case, focuses on the complexities of clinical management and on the importance of an integrated approach.
