Only recently stealing behaviour has been noticed as a symptom of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Reviewing our sample of 63 patients we discuss the incidence and motivation of kleptomania. In 24% of our patients stealing behaviour was reported which is a definitely high rate compared to literature. Among the intentions for stealing behaviour we found: Stealing as conversion of revenge, self-assertiveness compensation of binge-eating or stealing as achievement. The differential motivation of stealing should be considered in legal consequences.
直到最近，偷窃行为才被视为神经性厌食症和神经性贪食症的一种症状。通过回顾我们63名患者的样本，我们讨论了偷窃癖的发生率和动机。在我们的患者中，24%报告有偷窃行为，与文献相比，这一比例绝对较高。在偷窃行为的意图中，我们发现：偷窃是为了报复、自我肯定、补偿暴饮暴食或作为一种成就。在法律后果方面应考虑偷窃的不同动机。
