| Abstract: | Used interview-based assessment of level of personality organization and confirmed the finding of C. Johnson et al (see record 1991-13161-001) that borderline bulimics had a markedly worse prognosis over 1 yr than bulimics without borderline features. Ss in the present study were 31 eating disorder female patients at 1-yr follow-up. However, after 2 and 3 yrs, no such indications were evident. Instead, the borderline patients (9 Ss) unexpectedly caught up, eliminating the initial advantage held by the neurotics (7 Ss), and after 3 yrs, there were no differences in outcome between the groups.
