[Measuring the development of eating disorders in a group of patients with the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI)].

The Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI I) has been applied to four groups of patients with Eating Disorders (ED): Anorexic Bulimic Subtype (AB N = 22), Anorexic Restrictive Subtype (AR N = 36); Bulimic (B N = 51) and Other Eating Disorders (OED N = 15), according to the DSM III-R criteria. We have also applied the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-40), the Beck Depression Inventory (13 items), the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. During their hospital care, the patients have been treated by cognitive-behavioural therapy. The order or decreasing total scores in EDI at the admission is the B subtype, then the AR subtype, then the OED group. In total score, the B and AB improved more than the order groups, between their admission and a second assessment three months later. Body dissatisfaction, Drive for thinness and Interpersonnal distrust are the only subscales for which no group showed a statistical improvement after three months. The B group decreased more in the subscale, than the other groups, particularly in Interoceptive awareness, Ineffectiveness and bulimia.
