i think many drs prescribe to the multifactorial approach - some call it the causal pie which means that there is no one cause for illness, you get sick from a combination of things, some you can control and others you can't. but like anything, everyone is entitled to their opinion on things and you are free to agree or disagree. if you think it's crap, don't go there.

apparently this approach only works well for a certain subgroup of eating disorder patients -- but just as their are many different causes acting in concert to contribute to disease, and everyone's experience is unique to them, the treatments need to be individualised to suit the patient and their situation. no one approach will fix everyone, you need to find program that addresses what you feel your problems are.
