Abstract

„Evaluation of the disturbance in body image is of importance not only as a diagnostic criterion, but also in appraising treatment progress. Anorexic patients may gain weight for many reasons or may seem to progress well in psychotherapy. Without a corrective change in the body image, however, the improvement is apt to be only a temporary remission“.
