[Group therapy of bulimia nervosa and other related disorders].
The aim of this article is to present a brief group intervention model for the initial phase of the treatment of bulimia nervosa and other related eating disorders. The model combines elements from cognitive-behavioral and psychoeducational approaches. Along the article we will describe the theoretical foundations of the model, a review of the empirical evidence that supports it, and afterwards, the group procedure developed by us in our clinical experience. Later on, the clinical results of an uncontrolled study of a sample of patients who participated in the group will be introduced. Finally, we will discuss the scope and limitations of this experience.
