| Popis: | Patients suffering from anorexia nervosa often display extreme concern over their physical size and weight. Observers have noted that this tendency, variously described and interpreted, may reach delusional proportions in some patients. In this paper a technique is described for obtaining a fairly direct and objective measurement of body image perception. The results of a series of studies on anorexia nervosa and obese patients are described and their possible implications discussed. |
