Herausforderung Gender und Essstörungen: Essstörung ist nicht (nur) weiblich

Essstörungen werden nach wie vor als typische Frauenerkrankungen gesehen. Diese Einengung verursacht ein Nichtwahrnehmen von männlichen Betroffenen.

Auf der Behandlungsebene sind somit klare Fragestellungen und Empathie wesentliche Handwerkzeuge.
