| Popis: | Conceptual (a priori) subgroups in obesity based on personality findings from the Rorschach Comprehensive System were suggested for 100 obese patients. The subgroups were further compared in terms of general anamnestic and behavioral data. The largest subgroup was Rorschach characterized by difficulties with emotions and a tendency towards depression. Demographic and behavioral data for this subgroup revealed intermediate or higher education, regular meals, eating disorders like binge eating, periodic variations in eating during the year and experiencing body size as having a psychological meaning. The other subgroup was characterized by coping liabilities and was further associated with a lower socio-economic level and irregular or chaotic meal patterns. For the group with emotional difficulties, the results suggest a more complex psychological pattern, where eating and emotions could be closely related. The group with coping liabilities could have difficulties other than emotional ones concerning food and eating, such as finding a structure for eating and making changes in lifestyle and habits. |
