This study's aims were twofold: to examine the prevalence rate of eating disorders in women hospitalized for substance abuse treatment and to analyze differences in psychopathology of three patient groups: 25 alcohol-dependent women without comorbid eating disorders, 15 alcohol-dependent women with partial syndromes of eating disorders, and 41 eating-disordered women without comorbid psychoactive substance use disorders. A higher prevalence rate of eating disorder synptomatology (38%) was detected among inpatient alcohol-dependent women than is found in studies examining community samples. Subjects diagnosed with comorbid eating disorder symptoms and alcohol dependence scored signijicantly higher than those with alcohol dependence alone on scales measuring borderline personality disorder. Subjects with comorbidity also scored significantly higher on bonlerline, antisocial, and bbolar scales than those with single diagnoses of eating disorders. Results indicate that, for better assessment and treatment, close attention must be paid to comorbidity in both p u p s of eating-disordered and substance-a busing women. Future research should focus on defining the mechanisms by which these disorders coexist. |
