Paying for Eating Disorders Treatment
NY Times article entitled "Treating Eating Disorders and Paying For it." This article discusses the managed care system and how difficult it is to receive reimbursement for the treatment of eating disorders due to the length and complexity of treatment.

What efforts at prevention might be useful in reducing the rates of eating disorders? What treatments do seem efficacious at managing eating disordered behaviors?
