This study is the second paper for comparing the "transitional" self-help groups of eating disorders in Japan with the mature self-help groups for eating disorders in the West. The study conducts participant-observation on the groups associated with the Eating Disorders Network of Japan (EDNJ, a newly-established network of self-help groups of eating disorders in Japan) and Eating Disorders Association (EDA, a wide network of local self-help and support groups of eating disorders in the United Kingdom) and interviews with the group participants. As a result, the self-help groups of eating disorders in the United Kingdom are characterized as a place where the members can chat over a cup of tea and share the ideas that "it's not about food, it's about feelings." and "my family is very important to my eating disorders." However we recommend that it's not just to ape the ways of the West; we have to pursue our own methods to get to grips with eating disorders in Japan.
