Abstract: We speak today about a multidimensional perspective that explores different factors that influence the apparition of bulimia like sociocultural factors, personality traits, family dynamics, genetic and biological factors. The researchers agree that the motivation to have an appearance that conforms to the present standards of thinness that drives these patients to follow restrictive diets which in their turn elicit bulimic behaviours cannot stand as the only cause of apparition of the onset of bulimia.
