Epling and Pierce have done some work on the relationship between activity
and anorexia, demonstrating that high activity levels can produce anorexia,
and planned reductions in activity reverse it.

Scientific Approach._ Toronto: Hogrefe and Huber.

Treatment. Lawrence Erlbaum.
They also have a number of earlier journal publications, and a good summary
in their Behavior Analysis and Learning text (1998).
