Evidence from recent Arabic and other non-western studies indicates that Eating Disorders are not restricted to the western societies. This study aimed to carry out a follow up of Jordanian girls who suffered from eating disorders and received Motivation Enhancement Therapy and medical treatment during most of a 5 year period. Collective case study methodology was used to examine 5 Eating disorders cases and to discuss the good and the poor prognostic factors that may have affected the course of their illness.
