A recent Hartford Courant piece profiles the ground-breaking work in researching eating disorders of all kinds and in a variety of populations by Ruth Striegel-Moore, Walter A. Crowell Professor of the Social Sciences, Professor of Psychology. Striegel-Moore has been a leader not just in identifying and defining different types of eating disorders, but also in exposing their presence among demographic groups that many scientists and health care professionals had ignored.
