The findings of this study suggest that most clinicians use a wide array of eating disorder treatment interventions drawn from empirically supported treatments, such as CBT-BN, and from treatments that have no randomized controlled trial support. Factor analysis suggested theoretically linked dimensions of treatment, but also dimensions that are common across models.
This study examined the personality organization and functioning of 57 normal weight bulimic women as assessed by the Rorschach and compared their performance to that of comparable groups of nonpatient and outpatient depressed women. In contrast to nonpatients, the bulimic and depressed groups were similar in their overall level of dysphoric affect, emotional lability and impulsivity, avoidance of affective stimulation, state of emotional overload, relatively poor perceptual accuracy, lower interest in other people, and lack of set coping style. The bulimic group, however, displayed greater egocentricity, narcissism, anger, and negativity and was more underincorporative than the depressed, who were more introspective but also more arbitrary in their perceptions than the bulimics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
