even when their weight is woefully subnormal. Option A is therefore incorrect. Option C: Poor
self-image precludes making positive statements about self. Option D: Many clients with eating
disorders see supportive others as intrusive and out of tune with their needs.

fear of confiding in others, fear that personal information will be used against the individual, holding
