As fifteen-year-old Perry shuffled into my office, with his parents trailing tentatively neutral expression that I'd found usually masked either behind, he glanced at me with a strained great anger or great distress; in Perry's case it was both. Although anorexia is a disorder most often associated with girls, Perry was the third in a line of anorexic boys I had recently seen When he came to see me, Perry's weight had dropped to within ten pounds of the threshold requiring forced hospitalization, yet he denied there was any problem He just won't eat," mother began. Then, turning to Perry as if to show me the routine she asked with tears in her eyes, "Perry, why can't you at least have a they'd been simple dinner with us?" Perry refused to eat with his family, always claiming he wasn't hungry at the time and that he preferred to eat later in his room. Except that that rarely happened. New veiled threats, nagging, and outright bribes had all been tried, to menus, gentle no avail. Why would an otherwise healthy fifteen-year-old boy be starving himself? The question hung urgently in the air as we all talked Let's be clear from the outset: Perry was a smart, good kid: shy, umassuming, and generally unlikely to cause trouble. He was getting straight A's in a challenging and competitive public school honors curriculum that spring. And he later told me that he hadn't gotten a B on his report card since fourth grade. In some ways he was every parent's dream child.
