title: [Anorectic reactions in low intelligence].
abstract: Six female in-patients suffering from anorectic reaction are described. Difficulties in diagnosis and differences between these patients and anorectic patients of normal intelligence are discussed. The main finding is that in all six cases there was an extremely close and symbiotic mother-child relationship and a weak or absent father. Relevant life events in the nuclear family (new partner for the mother, illness in the father) then triggered the eating disorder.
