Show more >Adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa suffer from body image-related disorders associated with an intense fear of gaining weight or being too fat, even when they have reached a weight far less than what is required for their age and height. This misperception of being too fat, associated with significant body dissatisfaction are symptoms of concern as they may counteract the effect of therapies. As the ideal and hoped-for body weight and body image are never achieved, this, in fact, would encourage the adolescent girls to persist in restrictive eating habits and behaviours aimed at reducing the body's energy intake. That is why it is important to pay attention to this perception bias. While most research has studied these symptoms as stemming from a distortion of conscious, emotional and aesthetic representation of the body (i.e. self-image), there is now some evidence to suggest that they may also be related to a distortion of representations more focussed on sensory-motor aspects of the body such as body image. As awareness of thinness is a prerequisite for a suc- cessful recovery process, therapies, in their programme, must not over- look techniques that focus on a better body image and greater body acceptance. Exercises allowing improved appropriation of the new limits of the body should be used in addition to psychotherapy.Show less >
