Re-conceptualization of anorexia nervosa psychopathology: A network analysis study in adolescents with short duration of the illness.

Network analysis provides a new method to conceptualize psychopathology. We use this approach to investigate the relationships between eating disorder and general psychiatric symptoms in adolescents with anorexia nervosa.
