Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Bulimia Nervosa and Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified: Translation from Randomized Controlled Trial to a Clinical Setting

Abstract

Findings support dissemination of CBT-E in this context, with significant improvements in eating disorder psychopathology. Improvements to global EDE-Q scores were higher for treatment completers and lower for the intention to treat sample, compared to previous studies (Fairburn et al., 2009; Byrne et al., 2011). Level of attrition was found at 40.8% and non-completion of treatment was associated with higher levels of anxiety. Potential explanations for these findings are discussed.

Cognitive–behavioral therapy for eating disorders in primary care settings: Does it work, and does a greater dose make it more effective?

“…These findings add to the evidence (e.g., Byrne et al, ; Fairburn et al, ; Knott et al, ; Turner et al, ) that the effects of CBT for adults with eating disorders are generalizable across settings and service configurations, although this conclusion would be firmer if there had been a waiting list control group. It is possible that the impact would have been even greater if mirror exposure work had been used for patients with body avoidance issues.…”

“…Other OSFED cases and binge‐eating disorder cases were not eligible for the service, due to local service commissioning arrangements. Unlike Knott et al (), motivation to engage in therapy was not an eligibility criterion.…”

“…They do not have the range of professional backgrounds that are common in specialist eating disorders teams, but usually have training in appropriate therapies. For adult patients, this therapy base is commonly cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT), given its proven benefits in clinical trials (Fairburn et al, ) and in routine practice in specialist eating disorder services (Byrne, Fursland, Allen & Watson, ; Knott, Woodward, Hoefkens & Limbert, ; Turner et al ). However, no studies to date have explored the effectiveness of CBT for eating disorders when delivered in a primary care setting.…”

The Relationship between Body Image Satisfaction and Bulimia Nervosa among King Saud University Students

“…Therefore, scholars define body image as the individuals' perception about his body and the way he appears in social and cultural contexts. It refers to the external appearance of the body in terms of individuals' evaluation of his body appearance, tidiness and perception of size and weight (Knott, Woodward, Hoefkens, & Limbert, 2015) Body image has two concepts: the first is the body ideal; it means the attractive and proper body style for a certain age group, accepted in the individual culture. The other concept is body concept; it includes ideas, beliefs, and limitations correlated with the body, in addition to the body perception (Jaber & Al-Kafafi, 1991)。 Body image satisfaction occupies female's minds more than males, for that reason it is clearer among females, while males are more interested in their professional future and achievement.…”

Cognitive–behavioural therapy for non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease: a clinical review

“…In other words, the patient unlearns unhelpful strategies replacing them with more adaptive behaviours. CBT has a broad evidence base in the treatment of psychiatric disorders in the general population—depression and anxiety,19 obsessive-compulsive,20 eating21 and Tourette's disorders 22. Importantly, CBT has also been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of anxiety and depression in the context of chronic neurological23 and other physically disabling conditions 24…”
