“…The need to control the body, which Fairburn, Shafran, and Cooper (1999) considered to be the core feature of anorexia, is also fundamental in the explanation of self-injurious behaviour. But the issue of self-mutilation in anorexia nervosa has often been ignored, despite the frequent observation of suicidal and other self-destructive behaviour (Favaro & Santonastaso, 1997; Herpertz, 1995; Kent et al, 1997).…”

The aim of this study, which was carried out in the French-speacking part of Switzerland, was to examine the relationship between suicide attempts and self-mutilation by adolescents and young adults. The population, aged 14-25 years (N = 308), included a clinical sample of dependent subjects (drug abuse and eating disorders) compared to a control sample. On the basis of the Mini Neuropsychiatric Interview ( Sheehan et al., 1998 ), DSM-IV criteria were used for the inclusion of the clinical population. The results concerning the occurrence of suicide attempts as well as on self-mutilation confirm most of the hypotheses postulated: suicidal attempts and self-mutilation were more common in the clinical group compared to the control group, and there was a correlation between suicide attempts and self-mutilation. However, there was only a partial overlap, attesting that suicide and self-harm might correspond to two different types of behaviour.

“…In clinical samples, bulimia has been shown to be associated with suicidality and self-mutilation, alcohol problems, substance abuse and other, not necessarily pathological features of impulsive character [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]. Among DSM-III-R impulse control disorders, kleptomania and trichotillomania have been associated with mixed anorexia-bulimia [15, 16].…”

Background: In clinical samples, bulimia seems to be associated with various dyscontrol behaviours suggesting weakness in impulse control. Population studies of adolescents, however, are needed. We evaluated the association between self-reported bulimic behaviour and a number of dyscontrol behaviours, namely bullying, truancy, excessive drinking and sexual disinhibition among adolescents aged 14–16. This is the first study on bulimia and impulsivity in a large non-selected adolescent population sample. Methods: A self-report questionnaire was administered to a representative population sample of 14- to 16-year-old adolescents (pupils of the 8th and the 9th grades of secondary school in four different regions in Finland). 4,453 girls and 4,334 boys aged 14–16 participated. The participation rate was 85.5%. Results: Bulimic behaviour was associated with bullying, truancy, excessive drinking and sexual disinhibition among both sexes. Odds ratios for bulimic-type eating pathology according to each of these behaviours varied between 1.7 and 4.1. The more dyscontrol behaviours occurred simultaneously, the more likely was bulimic-type eating pathology. Conclusions: There is an association between bulimic behaviour and dyscontrol behaviours in the general population of adolescent girls and boys.

“…Bulimic subjects also scored significantly higher on the subscale 'manipulative function of weeping' and showed a significantly higher crying frequency than the other two groups. These results go along with findings of an impulsive and extrovert character of patients with bulimia nervosa [30][31][32].…”

Abstract Background:The aim of the study was to examine the proneness, the functions and triggering situations of weeping in anorexic and bulimic women. Methods: Participants were 36 anorexic and 31 bulimic female patients and 56 age-matched female controls. All women completed the Questionnaire on Adult Crying. We limited our study to results on 'crying proneness', 'functions of crying' and 'determining factors of crying'. Results: Bulimic patients reported to have cried significantly more often in the last 4 weeks, to be more likely to cry in situations of distress and to have used weeping significantly more often as a manipulative behavior than control women. Anorexic patients rated their tendency to cry significantly lower and experienced weeping as significantly more negative than controls. Conclusions: Compared to control women, anorexic patients associated weeping with negative feelings as opposed to bulimic patients who appeared to use weeping on an intentional basis. These deviations from control women seem to mirror the introvert character of anorexic patients and the extrovert impulsive personality of patients with bulimia nervosa, respectively.
