    Jules R Bemporad, Eugene V Beresin et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American Academy…1992

The authors suggest that patterns of maternal perfectionism and self-sacrifice combined with paternal entitlement makes sexual maturity particularly threatening for female children in these families, and may partially explain the greater incidence of anorexia nervosa in wo…
