Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and psychological features of patients who recovered from eating disorder. Subjects: Subjects were 10 patients who recovered from eating disorder and continued being in good condition for more than one year (recovery group). We chose 10 eating disorder patients who were under treatment as control group. Method: We compared clinical and psychological features of recovery group and control group. We used GAF (DSM-IV), Eating Attitudes Test (EAT), Bulimic Investigatory Test, Edinburgh (BITE), and Coping Inventory for Stressful Situation (CISS). Then we interviewed patients of recovery group and investigated what factors they thought influenced on recovery. Results: Recovery group had more social supports compared to control group. Recovery group showed significantly lower EAT scores, higher GAF scores and lower emotional oriented coping scores in CISS than control group after 1 year from starting treatment. And recovery group expressed social activity, supports of friends, experiences in achievement their purposes, and experiences in being appreciated were important for recovery. Conclusion: Social support, intervention in coping for stressful situations, and help to engage in social activity are important for recovery in eating disorder patients.
