The tendency of anorexic patients to overestimate their own body size was one element of Bruch's (1962) concept of body image disorder. The first experimental validation of this tendency was reported by Slade and Russell (1973), who also demonstrated that overestimation was directly related to a poor prognosis and that patients tended to become more accurate with therapeutically induced weight gain.
