This study explores the use of hospital archives to establish a wider view of the history of anorexia nervosa and similar symptomatic presentations in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The research incorporates a detailed investigation of admission registers and case records relating to over 36 000 admissions to two general infirmaries and four asylums. In addition, an extensive search has been made of printed medical sources for this period. The study clarifies both the range and limitations of information derived from hospital records and gives perspective to the accepted nineteenth century accounts of anorexia nervosa.
本研究探讨利用医院档案，以更全面地了解19世纪和20世纪初神经性厌食症及类似症状表现的历史。该研究详细调查了两家综合医院和四家精神病院超过36000例入院病例的登记册和病例记录。此外，还广泛查阅了这一时期的印刷医学资料。该研究阐明了从医院记录中获取的信息的范围和局限性，并为19世纪公认的神经性厌食症描述提供了新视角。
