Abstract

This chapter introduces the central theme of the book: the relationship between anorexia nervosa (AN) and identity. It outlines how AN often intertwines with a person's developing sense of self, complicating recovery. The chapter provides an overview of the volume's structure, highlighting how Part I examines intrapersonal aspects of identity, Part II explores the social dimensions, and Part III reflects on lived experience and overarching themes. The introduction positions identity as a crucial lens for advancing theory, research, and clinical practice in AN.
