<h3>Context</h3> Evidence-based treatment trials for adolescents with anorexia nervosa are few. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the relative efficacy of family-based (FBT) and adolescent-focused individual therapy (AFT) in full remission. <h3>Design</h3> Randomized controlled trial. <h3>Setting</h3> Stanford University The Chicago (April 2005 until March 2009). <h3>Participants</h3> One hundred twenty-one participants, aged 12 through 18 years, with<i>DSM-IV</i>diagnosis excluding amenorrhea...
Diagnostic criteria have been developed for a new eating disorder, binge disorder (BED), to describe the many individuals who problems with recurrent but do not engage in characteristic compensatory behaviors of bulimia nervosa, vomiting, or use laxatives. The results multisite field trial involving 1,984 subjects indicate that is common (30.1%) among attending hospital-affiliated weight control programs, relatively rare community (2.0%). more females than males and associated severity...
The development of the Emotional Eating Scale (EES) is described. factor solution replicated scale's construction, revealing Anger/Frustration, Anxiety, and Depression subscales. All three subscales correlated highly with measures binge eating, providing evidence construct validity. None EES significantly general psychopathology. With few exceptions, changes in treatment-related eating. In support measure's discriminant efficiency, when compared obese eaters, subscale scores a sample...
<h3>Background</h3> Research suggests that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most effective psychotherapeutic treatment for bulimia nervosa. One exception was a study suggested interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) might be as CBT, although slower to achieve its effects. The present designed repeat this important comparison. <h3>Method</h3> Two hundred twenty patients meeting<i>DSM-III-R</i>criteria nervosa were allocated at random 19 sessions of either CBT or IPT conducted over 20-week...
Because research has not examined the predictors of onset and cessation specific bulimic behaviors, present study tested whether a series putative risk factors predicted binge eating compensatory behaviors over 9-month period in community sample female adolescents (N = 218). Greater perceived social pressure to be thin, internalization thin-ideal, body dissatisfaction, dieting, negative affect behaviors. Further, lower thin-ideal internalization, dieting these Multivariate analyses suggested...
This study evaluated the use of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adapted for binge eating disorder (BED). Women with BED (N = 44) were randomly assigned to group DBT or a wait-list control condition and administered Eating Disorder Examination in addition measures weight, mood, affect regulation at baseline posttreatment. Treated women evidenced significant improvement on pathology compared controls, 89% receiving had stopped by end treatment. Abstinence rates reduced 56% 6-month...
The effects of dialectical behavior therapy adapted for the treatment binge/purge behaviors were examined.Thirty-one women (averaging at least one episode per week) randomly assigned to 20 weeks or a waiting-list comparison condition. manual-based focused on training in emotion regulation skills.An intent-to-treat analysis showed highly significant decreases with compared No group differences found any secondary measures.The use bulimia nervosa was associated promising decrease behaviors.
<h3>Context</h3> Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is an effective specialty treatment for binge eating disorder (BED). Behavioral weight loss (BWL) and guided self-help based on cognitive behavior therapy (CBTgsh) have both resulted in short-term reductions obese patients with BED. <h3>Objective</h3> To test whether BED require beyond BWL IPT more than either or CBTgsh a high negative affect during 2-year follow-up. <h3>Design</h3> Randomized, active control efficacy trial. <h3>Setting</h3>...
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious disorder with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Family-based treatment (FBT) an evidence-based therapy for adolescent AN, but less than half those who receive this approach recover. Hence, it important to identify other approaches prevent the development chronic form AN which there no known treatment.To compare FBT systemic family (SyFT) adolescent-onset AN.Research in Nervosa (RIAN) 2-group (FBT SyFT) randomized trial conducted between September 2005...
ABSTRACT Objective Determine whether early weight gain predicts full remission at end‐of‐treatment (EOT) and follow‐up in two different treatments for adolescent anorexia nervosa (AN), to track the rate of throughout treatment follow‐up. Method Participants were 121 adolescents with AN (mean age = 14.4 years, SD 1.6), from a two‐site (Chicago Stanford) randomized controlled trial. Adolescents randomly assigned family‐based (FBT) ( n 61) or individual focused therapy (AFT) 60). Treatment...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to discover clinically useful predictors attrition and outcome in the treatment bulimia nervosa with cognitive behavior therapy. METHOD: Pretreatment, course treatment, data were gathered on 194 women meeting DSM-III-R criteria for who treated 18 sessions manual-based therapy a three-site study. Differences between dropouts nondropouts recovered nonrecovered participants first examined descriptively, signal detection analyses then used determine...
This study evaluated the effectiveness of group cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for binge eating. Fifty-six women with nonpurging bulimia were randomly assigned to 1 3 groups: CBT, IPT, or a wait-list control (WL). Treatment was administered in small groups that met 16 weekly sessions. At posttreatment, both CBT IPT conditions showed significant improvement reducing eating, whereas WL condition did not. Binge eating remained significantly below...
<h3>Context</h3> There have been very few randomized controlled treatment studies of anorexia nervosa. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate factors leading to nonacceptance and noncompletion for 2 specific therapies their combination in the <h3>Design</h3> Randomized prospective study. <h3>Setting</h3> Weill-Cornell Medical Center, White Plains, NY; University Minnesota, Minneapolis; Stanford University, Stanford, Calif. <h3>Patients</h3> One hundred twenty-two patients...
Objective Because psychoeducational primary prevention programs for eating disorders have met with little success, this preliminary experiment tested a dissonance-based targeted preventive intervention. Method Female undergraduates (N = 30) elevated body image concerns were assigned to three-session intervention, wherein they voluntarily argued against the thin ideal, or delayed-intervention control condition. Participants completed baseline, termination, and 1-month follow-up survey....
Although laboratory experiments indicate that brief exposure to thin models leads acute body dissatisfaction and negative affect in women, research has not tested whether longer term results lasting effects. Accordingly, we randomly assigned 219 adolescent girls a 15-month fashion magazine subscription or no-subscription condition followed them over time. Despite evidence the experimental manipulation successfully increased ample statistical power, there were no main effects of long-term...
