✦ Synopsis

The study was designed to test the validity of the CEDRI, a semi-structured interview fur the assessment of much of the psychopathology and behuviours associated with the clinical eating disorders. Evidence of its reliability has previously been published. The present study examines the ratings obtained from clinical sampks of subjects with anorexia nervosa (n=39) and bulimia nervosa (n=97) and compares them with a comparison group of women (n=98) who were dieting but not eating disordered. Statistically significant differences were found between the clinical sampks and the comparison group on almost d items. The overall pattern of results provides e d n c e for the validity of the instrument.
