Introduction

Psychoform and somatoform dissociation in anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) is yet to be studied in Portugal.

Objectives

Explore the severity of psychoform and somatoform dissociation in ED; explore the differences between ED and other psychiatric disorders (PD), and between AN and BN.

Methodology

From two psychiatric clinics, 29 women with ED (AN = 16; BN = 13) and 35 women with different PD (posttraumatic stress = 9; panic = 4; major depression = 4; obsessive-compulsive = 8, social phobia = 10), matched sociodemographicaly (mean age = 26.69 ± 7.31), were voluntarily assessed with the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES), and the Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire (SDQ-20).

Results

ED patients had higher scores on DES (M ± SD= 28.10 ±19.76, p < 0.05) and on SDQ-20 (M ± SD= 38.41 ±13.19, p < 0.05) than PD patients (DES: M ± SD= 19.27 ±12.84; SDQ: M ± SD= 38.41 ±13.19). Comparing with PD, BN had higher scores on DES (M ± SD= 31.13 ±21.25, p < 0.05), and on SDQ-20 (M ± SD= 42.45 ±17.36, p < 0.01). Finally, there were no differences between AN (DES: M ± SD= 25.65 ±18.80; SDQ-20: M ± SD= 35.63 ±8.98) and BN (p = 0.01).

Conclusion

Our findings point out to the need to of watchfully assessing ED for dissociative symptoms and, accordingly, include the treatment of dissociation.
