Abstract
We payed attention to the psychological test that diagnosed personality traits of patient, and studied if these data showed the significant index of psychosomatic therapy. We conducted PDE to 50 PSD patients, and the results showed PDE was a reliable method for diagnosis of personality traits. Next, we conducted PDE to 14 Anorexia Nervosa patients (AN group), 13 Bulimia Nervosa patients (BN group), 8 Dysorexia patients (A+B group) and 13 controls. AN was significantly more diagnosed as obsessive compulsive, BN was significantly more diagnosed as histrionic, and Dysorexia was significantly more diagnosed as borderline than controls. These findings suggested that eating behaviors related personality traits. The last study was conducted with case reports of IBS. Psychosomatic therapy for IBS patients with personality disorder was more difficult than those IBS patient without it. Therefore, it was meaningful to examine PDE considering the prospective effect of psychosomatic therapy.
