Abstract

Introduction: Chronic feelings of low self esteem are a commun symptom among bulimic patients. Several authors have suggested that this could be a nuclear aspect of the psychopathology of bulimia nervosa, as well as a prognosis marker. The relationship between low self esteem and insatisfaction with self image it is not clear. While sorne authors describe low selfesteem as a symptom of a depressive syndrome, others view it as the cause of insatisfaction and therefore of depression.
