title: Revised diagnostic subgroupings for anorexia nervosa.
abstract: For purposes of classification, diagnosis, and treatment, future revisions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) will subdivide anorexia nervosa into two subgroups: binge eating and severe food restriction. More appropriate treatment modalities may now be developed, based on the differences in personality characteristics and behaviors of each subgroup.
