What is multi‐impulsive bulimia and can multi‐impulsive patients benefit from supervised self‐help?

Abstract: Definitions of multi-impulsivity and sample characteristics between studies of impulsivity vary widely leading to inconsistent results. Outcome data was examined to assess the comparative response of multi-impulsive and non multiimpulsive bulimic patients to a supervised self-help CBT programme. Multiimpulsivity was defined as the presence of two or more impulsive behaviours in the last 2 months in addition to bulimia nervosa as reported with the MultiImpulsivity Scale. Multi-impulsive patients reported simila… Show more

“…One consistent finding across the trials included in this review was that improvements in eating disorder symptoms were typically maintained at follow-up, [5][6][7][8]12,[14][15][16][17]21,22,25,27,28 which occurred between 3 and 18 months after the completion of treatment. However, only one study documented additional gains during the follow-up period.…”

“…Studies that included (1) only individuals with BN, (2) patients with BN or subthreshold BN, or (3) a mixed group of patients with the majority classified as BN were all designated as BN self-help studies for the purpose of our evaluation. Of the 20 BN self-help studies, seven were open trials of selfhelp, [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] five compared self-help to a waiting-list control, [10][11][12][13][14] eight compared self-help to another intervention, including treatments such as CBT, medication, or other forms of self-help, 11,13,[15][16][17][18][19][20] and two evaluated self-help combined with CBT. 21,22 Two studies 11,13 used multiple comparisons with self-help (patients were randomized to self-help, another intervention, or a waiting list), and these studies are described in all applicable categories (e.g., comparisons of self-help to a waiting list and comparisons of self-help to a comparison treatment).…”

“…Although most women with BN have high levels of neuroticism (Diaz-Marsa et al, 2000), there is a distinct subgroup who are also impulsive and undercontrolled (Westen & Hardnen-Fischer, 2001; Wonderlich et al, 2005). These individuals exhibit a large number of co-morbid impulsive behaviors (e.g., substance use, sexual disinhibition) and are frequently categorized as “multi-impulsive BN” (Bell & Newns, 2002). Research suggests that this BN sub-phenotype may have different etiological underpinnings than other BN-sub-phenotypes (e.g., high-functioning and constricted/overcontrolled sub-types; Westen & Harnden-Fischer, 2001).…”
