Research Project
A study is currently being undertaken into males recovering from an eating disorder. This involves talking to a researcher about your experiences in an e-mail interview. The researcher is a trainee clinical psychologist at one of the leading UK universities, and she has recovered from anorexia and bulimia. The study needs several more male participants (over the age of 16). You do not have to be fully recovered to participate but should be past the worst point of your eating disorder. The information from the study will be useful for both clinicians and families faced with male eating disorders. If you can help please e-mail woodx1.545@btinternet.com
