AB  - OBJECTIVE: To examine psychosocial functioning in eating disorder (ED) patients 
      with restrictive and purgative subtypes. METHOD: Forty-four adult female patients 
      with a diagnosis of ED were divided into restrictive (RP) and purgative (PP) 
      groups according the presence of purgative symptoms. Functioning was assessed 
      using the Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) and the Global Assessment of 
      Functioning Scale (GAF). RESULTS: No differences were found in total FAST scores 
      or in specific domains between the RP (39.58+/-11.92) and PP (45.75+/-11.75) groups 
      (p = 0.19). However, PP showed more severe functional impairment than RP in the 
      financial domain (p < 0.01). There were no differences in comorbidity with mood 
      disorders, depressive symptoms, or general psychiatric symptoms between the two 
      ED subtypes. CONCLUSIONS: The similarities found between PP and PR in overall 
      functioning and in autonomy, cognition, work, interpersonal relationships, and 
      leisure seem to reflect the use of an objective scale that corresponds to the 
      clinical impression. In fact, the assessment of psychosocial functioning in ED 
      patients using self-report instruments requires careful consideration because 
      results may reflect the egosyntonic nature of symptoms commonly observed in these 
      patients, particularly in the restrictive subtype.
