Therapy outcome of two treatment models for bulimia nervosa: preliminary results of a controlled study.
Beyond the reduction of the core symptoms, different modification patterns are expected due to differing emphases in two alternative types of treatment for bulimia nervosa: inpatient analytic and outpatient systemic therapy. The initial results of a study with a waiting-list control group are reported. Eating disorders of the bulimic women definitely improved in both therapy groups, the results for the inpatient group (n = 27) indicate a basic change in the attitude towards eating.
