Modification of Caloric Intake in Anorexia Nervosa: An Experimental Analysis

Abstract: The effects of feedback, reinforcement, and increased food presentation on caloric intake were sequentially examined in an experimental single-case design with an anorexia nervosa patient. Although feedback on weight and a point-reinforcement system for weight gains led to increased consumption, augmenting the amount of food presented in combination with feedback and reinforcement resulted in the most dramatic change in caloric intake.

“…The treatment of anorexia nervosa has recently been thoroughly reviewed by Hsu (1986). Behavior therapy has become a cornerstone of many inpatient treatment programs and is important early in the course of treatment when weight gain is crucial to ensure medical stability (Agras, Barlow, Chapin, & Abel, 1974; Elkin, Hersen, & Eisler, 1973). Reinforcers for weight gain may include increased ward privileges and social opportunities.…”

“…On a alors supposé qu'il pouvait s'agir de la présence ou de I'effet de certaines variables non contrôlées inhérentes au traitement. De fait, des recherches subséquentes ont démontré et confirmé le rôle de certaines variables telles que le renforcement négatif, la rétroaction ("informational feedback") et le volume des repas, sans toutefois préciser les liens pouvant exister entre de telles variables (Agras, Barlow, Chaplin, Able & Leitenberg, 1974; Elkin, Hersen, Eisler & Williams, 1973).…”

“…Ainsi, on a intégré la psychothérpie au traitement behavioral de l'anorexic nerveuse afin d'etendre les effets thérapeutiques au-delà des comportements alimentaires des sujets (Geller, 1975; Parker, Blazer & Wyrick, 1977). Par ailleurs, les méthodes de rétroaction ont été fréquemment jointes au traitement mixte de l'anorexie nerveuse (Agnas et al, 1974; Blue, 1979; Elkin et al, 1973; McGlynn, 1980; Monti, McCrady & Barlow, 1977). On a aussi combiné l'usage des drogues ataraxiques (i.e., phénotiazines et anti-dépresseurs tricycliques) au traitement behavioral de l'anorexie sans toutefois qu'elles influent directement sur les contingences d'intervention et sur le poids des sujets (Brady & Rieger, 1972; Goldberg, Eckert, Halmi, Gasper, Davis & Roper, 1980; Wulliemier, Rossel & Sinclair, 1975).…”
