Abstract
Twelve-year-old “Becky”, from a multi-racial background, has initiated interpersonal psychotherapy for “emotional eating” and weight concerns. Becky lives at home with her nine-year-old brother and parents. Becky presented at the 95th age- and sex-specific BMI percentile, with recurrent loss of control eating episodes. She denies compensatory behaviors, and reports modest depression and anxiety symptoms. Weight-related teasing by her brother, together with occasional feelings of exclusion by her peers, often trigger negative mood and loss of control eating.
