    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology

    Context:

    • Investigates personality structures in individuals diagnosed with anorexia nervosa.
    • Examines a cohort of 73 female patients presenting with mental anorexia.
    • Utilizes the Rorschach test as a primary diagnostic tool.

    Purpose:

    • To identify underlying personality structures associated with anorexia nervosa.
    • To explore common psychological characteristics among anorexic patients.
    • To determine if specific personality traits are paradigmatic of the syndrome.

    Summary:

    • Rorschach testing revealed that anorexic patients predominantly display hysterical or obsessive personality structures.
    • No unique structural traits were identified as defining characteristics of anorexia nervosa in this sample.
