Group A

This study examines the expression of selflessness – the tendency to ignore one’s own needs and serve others’ needs – in Rorschach protocols of women suffering from anorexia nervosa. The protocols of 35 women suffering from anorexia nervosa were compared to 30 protocols of a psychiatric comparison group. A multivariate analysis of variance over five variables (AG, PER, PHR, COP, and GHR) was significant: Anorexic patients showed higher characteristics of selflessness compared to the psychiatric comparison group. These findings contribute to the validation of the Rorschach technique and to the clinical observation of selflessness in anorexic patients, and they emphasize specific characteristics in the treatment of anorexia nervosa patients.

Case Conceptualization

Some individuals with specific phobia of vomiting (SPOV) (emetophobia) may present with disordered eating, including food restriction and weight loss. Such cases may be misdiagnosed as anorexia nervosa (AN), thus complicating case conceptualization, formulation, and treatment. This chapter outlines the clinical features of SPOV, including those that overlap with AN and other disorders. Treatment approaches and their evidence base are discussed, and a clinical case example of an individual with SPOV and disordered eating is presented. More research is needed to address the overlap between eating disorders and SPOV in order to better distinguish overlaps in presentation and to develop treatments that effectively target the central fears in these cases.

Over Time

This chapter describes the three main eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder), together with other similar related states. It explains how they are classified and describes their clinical features, development, and course. It is noted that the eating disorders have many features in common and that people move between them over time. These two observations support adopting a transdiagnostic perspective on these conditions.

Clinical Features

SummaryRecently there has been an increase in the number of reports of anorexia nervosa in non-Caucasian subjects. This paper describes three patients of Afro-Caribbean extraction with anorexia nervosa and/or bulimia nervosa seen at a specialist eating disorders clinic at the Maudsley Hospital between 1981 and 1983. No cases had been seen prior to this. The key clinical features were found to be, in the main, typical.

Male Patients

The demographic and clinical features of 12 male patients with anorexia nervosa were investigated by means of a retrospective analysis of their medical records. The clinical characteristics of the male patients were found to be remarkably similar to those reported for female patients and our findings concur with previously published literature. There appears however to be a greater tendency to exercise excessively. The importance of recognising anorexia nervosa in males is emphasized.

The West

In contrast to the West, bulimic disorders are rarer than anorexia nervosa in Hong Kong. Four female normal-weight bulimic patients with mostly typical clinical features and conspicuous morbidity are reported. The case histories support the hypothesis that binge-eating is used to regulate unpleasant affect.
