Static and dynamic body image in bulimia nervosa: Mental representation of body dimensions and biological motion patterns

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine whether in bulimia nervosa the perceptual component of a disturbed body image is restricted to the overestimation of one's own body dimensions (static body image) or could be extended to a misperception of one's own motion patterns (dynamic body image). It is concluded that in bulimia nervosa, body image disturbances can be extended to a dynamic component.
