title: [Shopping disorder and the abnormal use of attire].
abstract: Eight women and one man affected by the denominated "Dressing Disorder" are described. We show, analyze and discuss their social and demographic features, antecedents, onset and course, acquiring behaviours and its consequences, diagnosis, gnosographic features, results of the psychodiagnostic tests, evolutive relationships with the psychiatric diagnosis and treatment undergone. By the light of these data we propose a pathogenic scheme which remarks the importance of the Depression and Bulimia as precipitations or causative factors, because they give use to a low self-esteem and a use of anomalous defense mechanisms which origin the altered acquiring behaviours. Criteria for its diagnosis are proposed and more appropriate denominations are discussed.
