1. Disordered eating among Swedish adolescents : associations with emotion dysregulation, depression and self-esteem
Abstract : The path to an eating disorder (ED) always leads through a borderland, which, in this thesis, is referred to as disordered eating (DE) (Neumark-Sztainer, Wall, Eisenberg,Story, & Hannan, 2006; Waaddegaard, Thoning, & Petersson, 2003).
