| dc.description.abstract | the current study is a comparative investigation of
two treatment approaches to the eating disorder
bulimia, a cognitive-behavioral group therapy approach
was compared to a cognitive-behavioral individual
psychotherapy approach. eight subjects participated
in group therapy while seven were involved in the
individual mode. group sessions lasted for
approximately 90 minutes and occurred once weekly
over a period of 8 weeks. individual sessions were
approximately 50 minutes in length, also occuring once
each week over 8 weeks. assessment measures were
administered at pre-treatment, post-treatment and at
12-16 week follow-up. quantitative examination of the
results revealed undifferentiated rates of change
across the two treatment groups. a conclusion that
the two forms of treatment delivery are similarly
effective in the treatment of bulimia is thought to be
premature in light of the limitations of the study. | |
