    Author: Fennig S, Hadas A, Itzhaky L, Roe D, Apter A, Shahar G.
    Journal: Int J Eat Disord; 2008 Dec; 41(8):762-5. PubMed ID: 18570191.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Although the unipolar depression-eating disorder comorbidity is adequately documented, examination of the role of depressive personality styles in eating disorders is relatively scarce. METHOD: Associations between depressive symptoms, depressive risk and resilience (i.e., dependency, self-criticism, and sense of efficacy), and eating disorder symptoms (as measured by the Eating Disorder Inventory-2) were examinedin inpatient adolescent females (N = 81). RESULTS: Self-criticism emerged as independent, robust, and strong predictor of eating disorder symptoms. CONCLUSION: Patients self-criticism should be targeted in psychotherapy and might serve as an obstacle for successful inpatient treatment. The role of self-derogation in eating disorders should be examined further.
