Parents tend to feel guilty, blamed and ashamed when their child is diagnosed with anorexia, bulimia or other eating disorders. Laura Collins, author of "Eating With Your Anorexic," and publisher of online forum "Around the Dinner Table," produced this short film to educate the public on the role of parents in the development of child and adolescent eating disorders. The film features excerpts from interviews she conducted with experts attending the AED 2007 International Conference on Eating Disorders in Baltimore.
