The Interaction between Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders and Eating Disorders: A Review of Relevant Literature

Abstract

Heidi L Strickler

This paper explores the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorders and eating disorders. The
frequency with which the two types of disorders co-occur is explored. Additional exploration of comorbidity in specific populations is addressed. These populations include populations not widely explored in the literature, such as males,female veterans, and juvenile delinquents, as well as, populations that have been explored in the literature, such as clients who have experienced child sexual and physical abuse and neglect. Further, this paper explores specific core areas of dysfunction that overlap in eating disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder. Based on these core areas of dysfunction, focuses of additional symptomatology and treatment are discussed.
