Hemispheric function was assessed in 22 restricting anorexia nervosa AN female subjects and 22 normal female controls Two verbal and two visuospatial tasks and a set of psychopathological tests were administered The failure of the “classic” lateralization tests to reveal the expected left hemisphere dominance or a right hemisphere deficit in AN group as compared to controls is counterbalanced by the tendency of the psychopathologi cal tests to prove the neuropsychological hypothesis of the present study Neuro psychological interpretation of psychopathological data however does not constitute direc evidence and so further studies and more sophisticated techniques are needed
