“…Mean frequencies of binging and vomiting per week (diary measures) were 3.70 (SD = 2.27) and 3.45 (SD = 2.76). Again, these are very similar to the levels reported by other studies (e.g., Everill et al, 1995b). The mean scores on the YSQ subscales are shown in Table 1.…”

“…This is very similar to scores previously reported for eating disorder samples (e.g., Demitrack et al, 1990;Everill et al, 1995b;Goldner et al, 1991). The mean scores on the BITE were: Symptoms = 22.4 (SD = 4.08); and Severity = 11.2 (SD = 5.05).…”

Objective: This study of bulimic women examined the relationship between the severity of four forms of reported child abuse (emotional abuse, neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse) and bulimic pathology. In addition, it investigated the relationship of abuse with dissociation and core beliefs. Method: A sample of 23 women with bulimic disorders completed standardized self-report measures of child abuse, dissociation, core beliefs, and bulimic symptomatology. They also completed diary records of bulimic behaviors. Results: No dimensional relationship was found between any form of child abuse and bulimic pathology. However, within this group of bulimics, neglect and sexual abuse were correlated with dissociation. In addition, a subset of core beliefs was associated with child abuse, with different cognitive profiles associated with each form of trauma. Conclusions:The findings need to be interpreted with caution because of the small, heterogeneous sample involved. Further research involving larger, homogenous samples is needed to investigate the generalizability of these findings, in order to determine if particular abusive experiences and core beliefs need to be addressed therapeutically in such cases. In addition, future research should consider the relationships between abuse, core beliefs and other impulsive behaviors.

“…A comparison of 100 female undergraduates with 26 bulimics by Everill, Waller, and McDonald (1995) indicated significant correlations between bingeing EAT and DES scores and higher dissociative scores in the bulimic group. The key variable in the link between bingeing and dissociation was absorption.…”

The literature suggests that aspects of hypnotizability may be involved in the etiology and maintenance of self-defeating eating. However, interpretation of the published research findings has been complicated by the use of instruments that appear to have measured different or, at best, only related facets of the underlying constructs. This article reports relationships between weight, shape, dietary concerns, hypnotizability, dissociative capacity, and fantasy proneness. Implications for a key role for hypnosis in the treatment of eating behaviors, attitudes, and concerns are discussed.

“…The association between emotional regulation difficulties and bulimia nervosa is based on the binging-purging cycles characteristic of this disorder, as the binging and purging episodes are seen as methods of regulating negative affect (such as depression and anxiety). Specifically, these cycles might enable a lowering of consciousness to painful mental and cognitive states (Everill, Waller & Macdonald, 1995;Heatherton & Baumeister, 1991). Bulimic patients are described as lacking a clearly defined sense of self, and subsequently they utilize their bodies as a means of self-definition and regulation.…”

The Role of Depression and Anxiety in Impulsive and Obsessive-Compulsive Behaviors Among Anorexic and Bulimic Patients

Eating disorders are believed to range across a spectrum of varying degrees of obsessive-compulsive and impulsive behavior. Sixty anorexic (mean age = 19.8; sd = 5.9) and 109 bulimic (mean age = 26.9; sd = 11.3) female patients completed self-report questionnaires assessing obsessive-compulsiveness, impulsivity, depression and anxiety, as well as two eating disorder scales. Results yielded significantly higher levels of impulsivity and negative body image in the bulimic compared to the anorexic group. Regression analysis predicting impulsivity showed that bulimia and negative body image were the main contributors. Regression analysis for predicting obsessive-compulsive behavior suggested that depression and anxiety obscure the link between anorexia and obsessive-compulsive behavior, and a high BMI intensifies the association between anxiety and obsessive-compulsive behavior. The high rates of both impulsivity and obsessive-compulsiveness found in both groups, and their association with the severity of the eating disorder, may suggest that impulsivity and obsessive-compulsiveness are not mutually exclusive and can both be found among anorexic and bulimic patients.
