En este artículo se comparó el perfil de trastornos de personalidad en 25 pacientes con un trastorno de la conducta alimentaria (5 con anorexia restrictiva, 7 con anorexia purgativa, 5 con bulimia purgativa y 8 con un trastorno de la conducta alimentaria inespecífico). El 72% de las pacientes presentaba, al menos, un trastorno de personalidad, pero no había diferencias de frecuencia entre los cuatro grupos. Más tarde, las 25 pacientes se dividieron en función de la presencia o ausencia de conductas purgativas. Las pacientes purgativas presentaron trastornos de personalidad, de forma estadísticamente significativa, con mayor frecuencia y, además, en mayor número. Se comentan las líneas futuras de investigación en relación con este tema.Palabras clave: Trastornos de la conducta alimentaria, trastornos de personalidad, comorbilidad. Personality disorders in patients affected by anorexia and bulimia nervosa:A pilot-study In this paper was compared the personality profile in 25 outpatients with eating disorders (5 with restricting anorexia nervosa, 7 with purging anorexia nervosa, 5 with purging bulimia nervosa and 8 with eating disorder not otherwise specified). Although 72% of the females showed at least one personality disorder, there were not differences among groups. Later on, all the patients were divided in two groups, according to the presence or absence of purgative behaviors. Patients with purgativo behaviors showed more frequently and had a higher number of personality disorders than patients without purging behaviors. Finally implications for further research in this área are commented upon.
