The Bulimia Test-Revised (BULIT-R; Thelen, Farmer, Wonderlich, & Smith, 1991) is a 28-item questionnaire that shows promise as a sound and valid global self-report measure of the multidimensional bulimia nervosa construct. This study estimated the reliability and construct validity of the BULIT-R. Specifically, the study examined the correspondence between BULIT-R scores and the self-monitored frequency of the bulimic symptoms of binge eating and purging among 39 college-aged women. Results support the internal consistency, temporal stability, and construct validity of the BULIT-R.

The present paper documents two case studies in which cue-controlled relaxation was used in the reduction of chronic nailbiting by 2 adults. Results indicated substantial increases in nail-length and decreases in the frequency of habit at post-treatment and follow-up assessments. Successful application of the cue-controlled technique to situations unrelated to nailbiting was also reported. A description of the cue-controlled procedure, its potential as a self-control technique, and recommendations for future research are discussed.
