The authors present a series of comparisons highlighting the similarities and differences between alcoholism and two eating disorders: anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. They suggest that diagnostic, psychodynamic and therapeutic similarities are strong and may relate to a common lack of behavioral inhibition once abnormal drinking or eating patterns become set. They point to recent research suggesting that eating disorder patients are at greater risk for alcoholism later in life. They conclude that a scientific comparison of these disorders may yield new research findings that could advance treatment methods for both types of psychopathology and may prevent later morbidity for the eating disorder group.
作者进行了一系列比较，突出了酒精中毒与两种饮食失调症（神经性厌食症和神经性贪食症）之间的异同。他们指出，诊断、心理动力学和治疗方面的相似性很显著，且可能与一旦异常饮酒或饮食模式形成后共同缺乏行为抑制有关。他们提到最近的研究表明，饮食失调症患者在晚年患酒精中毒的风险更高。他们得出结论，对这些疾病进行科学比较可能会产生新的研究发现，这些发现可以推进这两种精神病理学类型的治疗方法，并可能预防饮食失调症群体日后的发病情况。
