[Psychodynamic and psychotherapeutic outcomes in anorexia nervosa during adolescence].

The authors discuss problems of psychogenic disorders of food intake and their basic variants--anorexia nervosa and bulimia. They try to define socio-cultural, familial and psychological characteristics of these diseases and find their relationship to adolescence as a risk period for the development of anorexia and bulimia. They mention specific personality characteristics and family structures in conjunction with the restrictive and bulemic variant of the disease and seek solutions of optimal psychotherapeutic intervention.
