Abstract
The evolution of diagnostic criteria from DSM-III to DSM-Ill-R for bulimia nervosa included the addition of overconcern with body shape and weight as a psychological dimension. This survey of 524 bulimic females in Toronto and New York documents the prevalence of the more specific dimension of body dissatisfaction in this population and highlights its association with related psychological disturbances. The virtual ubiquity of this dimension is discussed in terms of implications for future diagnostic criteria.
