ABSTRACT

Many different treatments have been developed in psychodiagnostics for patients with all kinds of mental health problems. For instance, patients suffering from anorexia nervosa with symptoms such as severe weight loss, binge eating, dysfunctional thoughts related to eating, presence of suicidal tendencies, and presence of low self-esteem, might be given treatments such as psychodynamic therapy, nutrition counseling, pharmacotherapy and cognitive-analytic therapy. The success of such treatments can be measured by different types of tests, such as questionnaires, interviews, observational schemes, attitude measurements, and so on.
