These 5 domains do not completely fit Young's five "primary infantile needs" domains. Only 2/3 of the EMS are correctly attributed to the "primary infantile needs" domains. The 5 domains seem closely related to the 5 dimensions of the NEO-PI-R or to the 5 domains of personality disorders (criteria b) described in the DSM-5. In our understanding the dimensions "avoidance, give, take" represent 3 types of relationship to others (on behavioral level). The dimension "awareness" represents the fears and losses (on the emotional level) and "faith" represents beliefs and consciousness (on the cognitive level). The intensity of the 5 domains inside each class of patients could guide the clinical interpretation, specifically for personality disorders.
Eighteen patients with bulimic-type anorexia (BAs) and seven with restricting-type anorexia (RAs) answered ®ve questionnaires constructed according to the model of Osgood's semantic differentials in order to assess their perception of four meaningful concepts (Feminity, Figure, Diet and Clothing) and one neutral concept (Town) before and after a 3-month hospitalization. RAs perceived the feminity, ®gure and clothing concepts more positively than BAs. Treatment led to no change in the perception of the neutral concept and few in that of feminity, diet and clothing. Furthermore, the data suggest that changes might re¯ect adverse effects of refeeding and normal body weight restoration on the perceptions of these concepts. Copyright *
