The significance of sexual conflicts in many patients with eating disorders has been well documented. However, even when these have been considered to have some degree of etiological importance, the occurrence of actual sexual trauma or incest in the early lives of these patients has been generally neglected in the literature. At one point in time, it was noted that five of six patients on an inpatient unit for eating disorders revealed an early history of sexual abuse or incest. These five cases are described. A parallel is drawn between the psychological problems experienced by victims of childhood sexual abuse and by patients with anorexia nervosa and/or bulimia. Our suspicion that these experiences may not be atypical led to the present article, which has implications for the investigation and management of eating-disordered patients.

Standardised personality assessments were administered to 50 consecutive referrals to an Eating Disorders Clinic. A history of childhood sexual abuse was identified in 30% of patients using a modified version of the SLEI. This rate is comparable with those from other studies. Overall, 52% of the patients were rated as having a personality disorder but a significantly higher proportion of women with a personality disorder had a history of childhood sexual abuse compared with those without a personality disorder (13/26 v. 2/24, Fisher P < 0.001). Although in patients with eating disorders no clear causal link between CSA and personality disorder was demonstrated, our findings emphasise the need to inquire sensitively into the sexual history of such patients.
