title: [Disorders of the maturation process and psychosexual development of anorexic patients].
abstract: In a therapy outcome-study with 51 female anorectic patients most of them showed a delay in maturation, deviations in sexual behaviour and in attitudes towards sexuality. The interpretation of our data shows that family factors play a major role in the development of sexual disturbances. To interpret anorexia nervosa only as a rejection of the female role means to simplify the complex processes in this multidetermined illness.
