Abstract
Compared pre‐ and posttreatment MMPI profiles of 12 female inpatients with anorexia nervosa using a scale‐by‐scale analysis of variance. Significant changes in clinical scales and a validity scale confirmed observed behavioral change after treatment. In addition, pretreatment profiles obtained at a different hospital were remarkably similar, which suggests a common constellation of personality characteristics in anorexia nervosa.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
