Compulsive eating behavior is characterized by ingestion of large amounts of food within a defined period of time (up to two hours), accompanied by a sense of loss of control over what and how much. Thus, this study proposed to functionally analyze compulsive eating. With this purpose, it presents results of analytical-functional studies that, besides describing their function of this food pattern, also propose behavioral interventions, as a counter-control to compulsive eating. Therefore, it demonstrates the methodology of investigation and intervention for this complex class of operant that can be extinguished only through procedures of reorganization of environmental variables and training of alternative behaviors to these.Fatores Ambientais que se Relacionam ao Comer Compulsivo: Uma Visão Analítico-ComportamentalO comportamento alimentar compulsivo se caracteriza pela ingestão de grande quantidade de alimento em um período de tempo delimitado (até duas horas), acompanhado da sensação de perda de controle sobre o que e o quanto se come. A abordagem analítica comportamental possui a visão do papel seletivo do ambiente sobre as ações do organismo, logo o comportamento. Este artigo objetiva explorar o entendimento analítico comportamental acerca do comer compulsivo e informar sobre os fatores ambientais descritos como controladores desse comportamento-problema.
