[sl1001]

Personality, thinking and emotional style in Anorexia Nervosa

We are looking for young females aged 11 ? 18 to take part in an important research study. We have slots available during half term as well as evenings and weekends.

What is the aim of the study?

The purpose of this study is to look at personality features and characteristics thought to play a role in the development of anorexia nervosa and which may make recovery difficult. We are comparing these features in individuals with eating disorders and those who have never experienced eating problems. Understanding more about these features can help us in developing more effective treatments.

Who can take part?

We are looking for females aged 11 ? 18. In order to take part you should speak fluent English and have never had an eating disorder.

What will happen if I take part?

You will be asked to complete a number of questionnaires about various things such as your personality and eating habits. You will also be asked to attend a one off testing session which will last around two hours during which you will be asked to complete some games, puzzles and other tasks. This will take place at the Institute of Psychiatry, Denmark Hill, London, SE5 8AF. We would like to give ?20 to reimburse you for your travel costs.

If you are interested in taking part or would like more information, please contact: Samantha Lloyd: [email protected], 02078480184.
