Abstract
A Body Mapping Questionnaire and a Colour-the-Body Task were devised to assess the dissatisfaction that bulimics feel about their body, beyond their preoccupation with its weight. When 134 women, 67 diagnosed with bulimia nervosa and 67 non-patient controls were matched for age, weight and height, the bulimics showed greater overall dislike for their body, and for about half of its specified parts.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
