In contrast, diminished interoceptive awareness, heightened stress reactivity and perfectionistic \ndoubting of actions are more likely consequent to, or exacerbated by, previously having experienced \nthe illness. Finally, a sense of alienation and emotional responsivity to the environment are more \nlikely to be associated with currently having BN.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291799002792","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T13:33:33Z","timestamp":1027776813000},"page":"1399-1410","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":151,"title":["Personality traits among currently eating disordered, recovered and never ill first-degree female relatives of bulimic and control women"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"L.
