title: Validity study of the EDI-2 in Israeli population.
abstract: This study was designed to validate the EDI-2 (1) in an Israeli population. The sample consisted of 29 anorectic patients and 18 recovering anorectics, recruited from six hospitals, and 67 female control subjects matched by age. Results of the validity study indicate that the translated EDI-2 was reliable and valid. Anorectic patients scored higher than the recovering anorectics on most scales. Recovering anorectics resembled the control subjects on most scales except Perfectionism.
