The authors interviewed 46 eating‐disordered individuals with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐III‐R Personality Disorders (SCID‐II) to assess the prevalence of personality disorders in four eating disorder subtypes. The findings suggest that eating disorder subtypes vary in prevalence of concurrent personality disorder diagnoses. Obsessive‐compulsive personality disorder was common in restricting anorexics, but not bulimic anorexics. Normal‐weight bulimia was associated with histrionic personality disorder. Regardless of eating‐disorder subtype, self‐reported depression was highest in individuals meeting criteria for borderline and dependent personality disorder.
