dc.description.abstractFifteen adult women, (mean age 27.7 years) participated in this quantitative study. The study was aimed at identifying schizoid character structure in a group of individuals diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa by means of the Rorschach Inkblot Test. Overall results show that 60.8% of the sample was found to have the hypothesized schizoid characteristics. Although results support the hypothesis of a schizoid character structure being present in the persons with Anorexia Nervosa, the results may only be applicable to these specific research participants as identified confounding variables in the study were seen as possibly influencing the findings. These variables include the use of medication as well as comorbid conditions and previous psychotherapy.en
