Anorexia Nervosa: A Discriminant Function Analysis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
The diagnosis of anorexia nervosa is not always straightforward. Bliss and Branch (1960) regard all non-organic conditions causing anorexia as anorexia nervosa. However, more recent authors like Dally and Sargant (1960), King (1963), Crisp (1965b) and Bruch (1965) limit the use of the diagnostic label anorexia nervosa to a highly specific entity. Many patients who present with loss of weight and/or loss of appetite fit easily into this classical anorexia nervosa category, whilst many others are equally easily excluded.
