Abstract
A preliminary study has served to demonstrate that patients with primary anorexia nervosa whose weight has been newly restored to normal, and who are currently involved in individual and family psychotherapy, are significantly characterized by having very low self-esteem, by being highly sensitive to social interactions and by being 'obsessoid'. It is suggested that, in therapy, specific behavioural approaches to these problems may usefully complement other psychotherapeutic endeavours.Keywords
