【Overview】Considering eating disorder as a sort of social pathology, analyze and examine the process of how a skinny-oriented culture leads to increase of eating disorder. And discuss how we can stop this and further issues.（In addition to a doctoral thesis submitted to the University of Sacred Heart in 2004）
