[Disorders of self perception and feeding behavior in patients with the syndrome of anorexia nervosa (clinico-psychological analysis)].
An experimental psychological examination involved 87 patients with anorexia nervosa of different nosological origin. Patients with anorexia nervosa as part of borderline disease and schizophrenia presented specific characteristics of perception of their own appearance and of feeding habits. Patients with anorexia nervosa combined with borderline mental diseases showed close relationship between the orientation and degree of distortion of perception of the size of their own body and the nature of emotional value judgements. In schizophrenic patients with symptoms of anorexia nervosa this interrelationship was either absent or paradoxical in nature. All patients presented marked changes in the structure of feeding habits which were specific in each nosological group (lack of substitution effect, etc.). The results obtained served as a basis for appropriate psycho-corrective measures.
