Résumé
"The objective of this paper was to test the divergent validity (degree of discrimination) of an anorecticprototype narrative (i.e., communality of themes in the individuals core auto-biographical memories), aswell as explore different characteristics of the participants which may be associated with the degree ofprototype discrimination. Seventy participants diagnosed with anorexia nervosa participated in the studyand were asked to indicate their degree of identification with four different narrative prototypes (depressive,agoraphobia, anorexic, alcoholic and drug addiction prototypes). Results did not confirm the divergent validityof the anorexic prototype narrative. Participants tended to identify primarily with the depressive prototypenarrative. No significant differences were found between levels of identification with the anorexic prototypeand depression, or agoraphobia and alcoholism prototype. The only significant difference found was betweenthe anorexic and drug addiction prototype. However, severity and duration of the clinical condition werefound to be associated with the degree of identification of prototype narrative. Results are discussed in termsof a transdiagnostic versus a prototype approach to the eating disorders psychopathology"
