Abstract:
We report the case of a woman with bulimia nervosa, several personality disorders, and a past history of anorexia nervosa who deliberately induced an abortion via self-imposed starvation and vigorous exercise. Her history reveals severe obsessive-compulsive and narcissistic personality disorders as well as a lifelong pattern of denial of affect and illness.
