N2 - The axis II comorbidity of 34 women with active bulimia, 18 women with remitted bulimia, and 20 women with a history of major depression was assessed blind to axis I diagnosis using the Diagnostic Interview for Personality Disorders (DIPD), a semistructured interview of demonstrated reliability. Fifty percent of the active bulimic subjects, 44% of the remitted bulimic subjects, and 35% of the depressed controls met DSM-III criteria for at least one axis II disorder. Despite the generally higher prevalance of axis II pathology in both bulimic groups than depressed controls, these between-group differences did not reach significance. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
