title: Administering cognitive-behavioral therapy for bulimia nervosa via telemedicine in rural settings.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This report describes the therapy of 2 women with bulimia nervosa who were treated using cognitive-behavioral therapy delivered via telemedicine.
  
  
  METHODS
  The telecommunication link was established using a 128-Kbps ISDN switchable data line.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Both cases were treated successfully and were doing well at 1-month follow-up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These cases illustrate that this methodology may make it possible to deliver manual-based psychotherapies to patients with eating disorders in remote areas.
