An academically perfectionistic and interpersonally compliant 13‐year‐old girl raised in a traditional, sheltering Muslim home in Lahore, Pakistan developed restricter anorexia nervosa in the context of being teased about her weight by her closest friend and younger brother, and in a context of family weight preoccupation. Similarities to current pathogenetic hypotheses among Western adolescents are discussed. © J 993 fay John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
