[Social-sciences-list] Welcome and Introductions

Mon Jul 23 19:00:49 UTC 2012

Hi,
  Sadly, yes, there is one called Pica which is an eating disorder most 
often observed in infants. Since I have been away from Clinical fore a while 
I do not want to try to define it since I do not recall the specifics. Also, 
I had read papers during my clinical dissertation work that presented 
studies involving three to five year olds who showed eating-based concerns 
regarding fear of being fat.
Many thanks,
Christine
