International Journal of Eating Disorders 2007;40:562–8.CrossRefGoogle ScholarPubMed This article covers reliable testing for eating disorders, including the CAPS (child adolescent perfectionism scale), EDI (eating disorders inventory), and EAT (eating attitudes test), showing that self-oriented perfectionism was found, in several studies, to be in 17.6% of eating disorder patients at 2.0 SD above the norm for young women with no known eating disorders. These scores were also significant predictors of future issues with eating disorders. Post-therapy scores, in those with eating disorders, after treatment, are a strong predictor of future issues with an eating disorder and other compulsive behaviors.
