This book offers a microanalysis of an online support group on eating disorders, specifically the communication through textual messages between newcomers and regular members and members? nicknames. The study uses an ethnomethodological and conversation analytical approach to show that members of online support groups treat the group as a community in which their illness-identity is highly relevant. It appears that members invoke community norms regarding legitimacy for newcomers: Newcomers are expected to admit that they are ill, but this is a very difficult step for those who have not yet fully adopted the ?sick role? (Parsons, 1951). In the field of eating disorders, it is particularly difficult for people that tend to pro-ana , id est the glamorization of eating disorders. The insecurity and anxiety that newcomers display as they enter the online group could probably be relieved when a special entry subforum would be installed in which they can take time and space to actually recognize that they are illustrations. 410 0$aUtrecht studies in language and communication ;$v21. 606 $aEating disorders$xSocial aspects 606 $aEthnomethodology 606 $aMedicine$xComputer network resources 606 $aSelf-help groups 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEating disorders$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aEthnomethodology. 615 0$aMedicine$xComputer network resources. 615 0$aSelf-help groups. 676 $a616.85/26 700 $aStommel$b Wyke$0972644 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455405403321 996 $aEntering an online support group on eating disorders$92236444 997 $aUNINA
