Abstract:
Online support groups are considered highly valuable in addition to
traditional health care services, but we know very little about how people
actually join such a group. 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 <I>pro-ana</I>, i.e. 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 ill.
