This qualitative content analysis examined mission statements of pro-anorexia websites to gain a better understanding of how these individuals conceptualize the function of self-starvation. The results indicated that there is substantial diversity within this online community. Specifically, some pro-anorexia authors defined anorexia as an illness and disease from which recovery is not possible, while others suggested that anorexia is a lifestyle and chosen way of life. Clinical implications are discussed, including assessment and treatment considerations.
