should not do."
Dr. Berg says that treatment is a slow and
delicate process. She works to have her
clients challenge the facts and correct their
misconceptions about dieting and weight.
She aims to promote a positive self-image.
She also spends a part of her treatment
time focussing on the family background of
her client-
Family factors vary greatly in the per-
sona of a someone who suffers from an
eating disorder.
Debbie grey.. up in a family where only her
father was allowed to eat dessert.
Karen's brothers teased her about being
overweight.
Jennifer's fancily went on the Scarsdale
Diet for lengthy periods.
Sandra's mother was always' on a diet.
Sandra helped recdt-d her daily food charts.
Gwen was a good gynu)ast at school. Her
parents controlled her food intake in an ef-
furt to keep their daughter's body slain and
trine for her gymnastics.
Variety of influences
I h'. Berg sees a wide range of familial in-
fluences in her work with those people who
suffer from eating disorders.
Such individuals have never really
developed a support system outside the
family. They are primarily dependent on

their immediate families.
mort'i's
/Others come from rigid families, where
the parents set firm rules of discipline that
are the same for their 10 year old child as
their 17 year old child. There is no room for
flexibility. Their children do not have the
freedom to make their own choices or their
own mistakes.
There are overprotective families, where
parents become'too greatly involved in their
children's lives. They become so preoc-
cupied with their children, that the child
feels pressured to constantly seek parental
approval.
Others come from families that put em-
phasis on emotional constraints, where
children are not allowed to vent feelings of
anger, discouragement or depression.
Children learn to silence their feelings, to
keep trtrutions bottled inside.
The typical anorexia sufferer is "the good
little girl who is fighting for independence,"
Dr. Berg suggests.
Some anorexics see themselves as the
children who must work to make their
parents happy, to save the family. They feel
a great burden of guilt for all the things that
their parents have done for them over the
years.
Anorexics aim to be perfect.
Some aim to have control over their lives.
I)r. Berg says, "The desire for self-control is
central to anorexia. They have control over
what they eat."

cessfully combating the problem, Dr. Berg
says.
It is not an easy task.
"The family of an anorexic often vacillate
between two poles, by trying to get their
daughter to eat more or at other times giv-
ing up on her: This causes more anger, more
conflict. The whole family needs counsell-
ing. Sometimes the family also maintains
the disorder. Well meaning parents accuse
their daughter if they attempt to force feed
an anorexic child."
Dr. Berg says that force feeding an
anorexic person should only be used as a
last resort, life saving measure for those
who are close to death.
"Force feeding under estimates a per-
son's self esteem. You take away their last
vestige of self control."
Dr. Berg stresses the early treatment of
eating disorders to prevent a chronic pro-
blem or before it becomes an addiction. She°
stresses that families, teachers, doctors
should be made knowledgable of eating
disorders and should be able to recognize
early symptoms. •
She notes, "It's the wrong attitude to think
that the child will grow out of the problem."
Dr. Berg says that people with eating
disorders can be fully recovered, but in this
day and age, society pressure and ideals
will continue to be tough obstacles to
counteract.
"Yes there can be full recovery," she
says, but a female living in'this culture will
always come up against food and weight
concerns as long as the culture remains the
same."
