Abstract
The authors interviewed 46 eating-disordered individuals with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R Personality Disorders (SCID-II) to assess the prevalence of personality disorders in four eating disorder subtypes. The findings suggest that eating disorder subtypes vary in prevalence of concurrent personality disorder diagnoses. Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder was common in restricting anorexics, but not bulimic anorexics. Normal-weight bulimia was associated with histrionic personality disorder. Regardless of eating-disorder subtype, self-reported depression was highest in individuals meeting criteria for borderline and dependent personality disorder.
