Description

The aim of this study is to develop logotherapeutic interventions in young-adult women, diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, and in an in-patient treatment program. It is expected to increase their perception of meaning and purpose in life; hence, a decrease in the anorectic symptoms. Is a field experiment of cause and effect and the data will be collected with two psychometric instruments: Purpose in life (PIL) and eating disorders inventory- 3 (EDI-3). An average of 70% of the participants showed a reduction in their anorectic symptomatology as a result of the logotherapeutic interventions, which assessed ways to fulfill the existential vacuum and promotes the search for meaning in life
