espanolEl miedo a la madurez supone el deseo de regresar a la seguridad de la infancia y se considera uno de los constructos psicologicos que se ha mostrado clinicamente relevante en personas con anorexia nerviosa (AN). El estudio pretende determinar la proporcion de pacientes con AN en nuestra muestra de estudio que presenta miedo a la madurez, y examinar si existen diferencias entre pacientes con AN restrictiva (AN-R) y AN purgativa (AN-P) en cuanto al miedo a la madurez. La muestra se compone de 115 adolescentes diagnosticados de AN. Los pacientes cumplimentaron el Inventario de Trastornos de la Conducta Alimentaria (EDI-3) que incluye la variable psicologica miedo a la madurez. Los resultados indican que el 86.1% de la muestra presenta un rango clinico tipico o elevado en la subescala miedo a la madurez y que no existen diferencias significativas entre los diagnosticos de AN-R y AN-P respecto al rasgo estudiado (t=.160; p=.873). Este estudio pone de relieve la importancia de situar el foco en la practica clinica cotidiana en el miedo a la madurez que presentan estos pacientes, tanto a nivel preventivo como en el tratamiento de la AN.
