This study examined the levels of hypnotizability and dissociation in an outpatient sample of 17 normal-weight bulimic women and 20 healthy controls. Bulimic patients were significantly more hypnotizable than controls (p < .003) and scored higher on a self-report scale of dissociative experiences (p < .02). The results of measures of hypnotizability and dissociation showed a significant positive correlation in the combined subject group. These results are consistent with previous reports on hospitalized patients and college students and suggest that psychological factors associated with hypnotizability might play a role in the etiology and treatment of bulimia nervosa.
本研究调查了17名体重正常的贪食症女性门诊患者和20名健康对照者的催眠易感性和分离程度。贪食症患者的催眠易感性显著高于对照组（p <.003），且在分离体验的自我报告量表上得分更高（p <.02）。在合并的受试者组中，催眠易感性和分离程度的测量结果显示出显著的正相关。这些结果与先前关于住院患者和大学生的报告一致，并表明与催眠易感性相关的心理因素可能在神经性贪食症的病因和治疗中起作用。
