Abstract
Obesity is a multifactorial syndrome involving both a genetic susceptibility and environmental factors such as early eating experiences in infancy. Interviews, drawings, and a personality test (Rorschach) were used to classify obese children according to their personality. Results suggest that the eating disorder is only one component of a more global alteration in psychological organization. These data support the need for psychological intervention.
