Abstract:
SummaryThe significance of a history of anorexia nervosa as regards the diagnosis and treatment outcome for bulimia is unclear. In a retrospective analysis of medical records of 59 inpatients with bulimia (DSM-III), variables related to personal and psychiatric family history did not reveal any differences in bulimics subtyped according to previous anorexia nervosa as defined in the criteria of Russell (1979). These anamnestic data support the results of studies indicating that no specific clinical and outcome variables are correlated with a history of anorexia nervosa in bulimia. The lower body weight and longer duration of bulimia found in bulimic inpatients with a history of anorexia nervosa, however, should be further examined.

Abstract:
There have been reports of a high prevalence of bulimic episodes and the syndromes of bulimia nervosa and DSM-III bulimia in community samples. A group of American authors recently compared the findings of a contemporary survey with those of a survey they had conducted previously and reported a three-fold increase in the prevalence of DSM-III bulimia. The present study replicates a community survey conducted four years ago in Britain. The prevalence of bulimic episodes, self-induced vomiting and bulimia nervosa found in the present survey was very similar to that found in the earlier study.

Abstract:
This study examines the impact of pregnancy on the reported eating behaviour of 20 untreated normal body weight bulimia nervosa women; it also reports foetal and obstetric abnormalities and indicates the initial eating habits of the infants. The prevalence of binge-eating and self-induced vomiting reduced sequentially during each trimester of pregnancy. By the third trimester 15 women (75%) had stopped all bulimic behaviour and in the remainder the disturbed eating was less severe. Symptoms tended to return in the Puerperium and in nearly half the sample abnormal eating was more disturbed after delivery than before conception. However, the improvement associated with the pregnancy described by seven patients was maintained and for five it appears to have been curative. The common fear among pregnant bulimics that their abnormal eating behaviour may damage their unborn child cannot be dispelled by this study; the incidence of foetal abnormality (including cleft palate and cleft lip), multiple pregnancies and obstetric complications (including breech presentation and surgical intervention) was high. The nutrition and development of the infants was good although three mothers (15%) reported slimming their babies down within the first year.

Abstract:
Die Bulimia nervosa ist durch Essanfälle und Verhaltensweisen gekennzeichnet, welche einer Gewichtszunahme entgegensteuern sollen (Erbrechen, Laxantienabusus, Hungerphasen u.a.). Sie ist eine multifaktoriell bedingte psychische Erkrankung, welche vor allem junge Frauen betrifft. Die Bulimie kann zu gravierendem Folgen auf körperlicher, psychischer und sozialer Ebene führen und bedarf in der Regel einer spezialisierten, psychotherapeutischen Behandlung. Diese kann in den meisten Fällen ambulant erfolgen, es muss jedoch die häufige Komorbidität mit weiteren psychischen Erkrankungen berücksichtigt werden. Auch eine psychopharmakologische Mitbehandlung kann hilfreich sein. Nach 5–10 Jahren zeigen rund 50% der Patientinnen eine Vollremission, 30% Teilremissionen und etwa 20% einen chronischen Verlauf. Hausärzte, Zahnärzte und Gynäkologen sollten über Anzeichen einer oft von den Betroffenen selbst aus Schamgefühl verheimlichten Bulimia nervosa informiert sein.

Abstract:
The present study employed the Riley Questionnaire of Experiences of Dissociation in order to assess degree of dissociation in females diagnosed with anorexia nervosa and bulimia. The subjects consisted of 26 anorexic and 18 bulimic females, and a non eating-disordered control group of 22 females. Results indicated that eating disordered subjects, considered together, had significantly higher dissociation scores than the non eating-disordered control group. Additionally, when considered separately, both the anorexic and bulimic groups had significantly higher dissociation scores than the control subjects. No significant difference was found in the level of dissociation between anorexic and bulimic groups. These findings are discussed in relation to previous investigations and implications for possible future research and treatment.

Abstract:
SynopsisThirty-two consecutively admitted females with bulimia nervosa (purging type) according to DSM-IV and additional impulsive behaviours (multi-impulsive bulimia (MIB)) and 32 age-matched female controls with DSM-IV bulimia nervosa (purging type) (uni-impulsive bulimia (UIB)) were assessed longitudinally on admission and at discharge following in-patient therapy and at a 2-year follow-up. Multi-impulsive bulimics were defined as presenting at least three of the six of the following impulsive behaviours in their life-time in addition to their bulimic symptoms at admission: (a) suicidal attempts, (b) severe autoaggression, (c) shop lifting (other than food), (d) alcohol abuse, (e) drug abuse, or (f) sexual promiscuity. Multi-impulsive bulimics were more frequently separated or divorced, had less schooling and held less-skilled jobs. Except for interoceptive awareness (EDI), which was more disturbed in multi-impulsive bulimics, there were no differences concerning scales measuring eating disturbances and related areas. Multi-impulsive bulimics showed more general psychopathology – anxiety, depression, anger and hostility, psychoticism – differed in several personality scales from uni-impulsive bulimics (e.g. increased excitability and anger/hostility) and had overall a less favourable course of illness. Multi-impulsive bulimics also received more in- and out-patient therapy previous to the index treatment and during the follow-up period. The data support the notion that ‘multi-impulsive bulimia’ or ‘multi-impulsive disorder’ should be classified as a distinct diagnostic group on axis I or that an ‘Impulsive Personality Disorder’ should be introduced on axis II. The development of more effective treatment for multi-impulsive bulimia is warranted.

Abstract:
SummaryExperimental evidence suggesting that psychiatric comorbidity has important clinical and prognostic implications in bulimia nervosa has mostly been based on outpatient studies investigating a selection of co-existing psychopathological features with rather unstructured and not standardized diagnostic instruments. Using structured instruments (SCID-P, MDCL) for the diagnoses of DSM III-R axis I disorders and clinical interviews for the diagnosis of DSM III-R axis II disorders in 24 hospitalized bulimics, the present study demonstrated that more than half of the patients had two or three axis I disorders in addition to bulimia nervosa and almost half of the patients met criteria of at least one personality disorder. Subgroups of patients classified according to the type of psychiatric comorbidity did not differ significantly with respect to clinical features; regarding measures of hospital behavior therapy outcome. However, the findings provided evidence for a negative impact of anxiety disorder in addition to bulimia nervosa on the improvement of bulimic behavior and possibly also on self-rated depression.

Abstract:
BackgroundPrevious studies have found that the reliability of the lifetime prevalence of bulimia nervosa is low to moderate. However, the reasons for poor reliability remain unknown.AimsWe investigated the ability of a range of variables to predict reliability, sensitivity, and specificity of reporting of both bulimia nervosa and major depression.MethodTwo interviews, approximately 5 years apart, were completed with 2163 women from the Virginia Twin Registry.ResultsAfter accounting for different base rates, bulimia nervosa was shown to be as reliably reported as major depression. Consistent with previous studies of major depression, improved reliability of bulimia nervosa reporting is associated with more severe bulimic symptomatology.ConclusionsFrequent binge eating and the presence of salient behavioural markers such as vomiting and laxative misuse are associated with more reliable reporting of bulimia nervosa. In the absence of the use of fuller forms of assessment, brief interviews should utilise more than one prompt question, thus increasing the probability that memory of past disorders will be more successfully activated and accessed.

Abstract:
SummaryFifteen patients with bulimia nervosa received fenfluramine (60 mg po) or placebo under double-blind, randomly ordered conditions. Two hours later food was presented. Significantly less food was eaten after fenfluramine and the quantity eaten was inversely correlated with serum fenfluramine levels. Significantly fewer patients reported bulimic symptoms during the test after fenfluramine, but no significant effect was demonstrated after leaving the ward. Fenfluramine caused drowsiness but did not reduce hunger ratings. Similarly, eating failed to reduce hunger ratings normally in the patients. These findings suggest that in patients with bulimia nervosa, hunger is reported abnormally and eating is suppressed by fenfluramine. Bulimic symptoms were probably reduced by fenfluramine, which may prove to be a useful treatment for bulimia nervosa.

Abstract:
Sixty-seven patients with bulimia nervosa and 29 patients with anorexia nervosa completed the Impulsiveness Questionnaire and questionnaires detailing severity of eating disorder. Bulimic patients had higher impulsivity scores than anorexic patients. Bulimics with high impulsivity scores did not have more severe eating disorders than low scorers. When 39 bulimics and 25 anorexics were interviewed about other impulsive behaviour, 51 % of bulimics and 28% of anorexics reported at least one other impulsive behaviour. Patients with so-called ‘multiimpulsive’ bulimia reported more severe eating disturbance, but this was not reflected on more reliable measures of symptoms. Thirty-nine bulimics entered an eight-week treatment trial and their progress was assessed at eight weeks, 16 weeks and one year. ‘Non-impulsive’ bulimics had a more rapid response than ‘impulsives' during treatment, but there was no difference at follow-up. There was no evidence of an association between high impulsivity trait scores and poor treatment response. It is concluded that impulsivity may shape the expression of eating disorders, but that ‘multi-impulsives' do not constitute a categorically distinct subgroup of bulimics.

Abstract:
Current research on formal treatment approaches to normal-weight bulimia presents inconclusive results on the efficacy of various treatments and limited empirical knowledge of the curative mechanisms involved. In the literature on therapeutic change agent studies which interviews individuals who have recovered from an eating disorder, only isolated aspects of the recovery experience are uncovered so that the meaning and process of recovery are limited. This case study applied Colaizzi's (1978) existential-phenomenological approach to elucidate thematic categories underlying the recovery experience as recounted by a former bulimic in order to provide a more complete and holistic understanding of the process and nature of recovery from bulimia. Initially, four individuals who self-reported feeling genuinely recovered from bulimia were prescreened by an independent rater in order to ensure that they had a previous diagnosis of bulimia nervosa as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition Revised (1987) and no previous history of anorexia nervosa, that they were free of bulimic symptoms, and that they exhibited no significant indicators of other active psychological problems since having recovered from bulimia. The four co-researchers described their recovery experience and each interview was transcribed. Categorical themes were formulated from the richest and most comprehensive transcript and information from another co-researcher's transcript served to cross-validate the categories. The remaining two transcripts were not included in the analysis process. The co-researcher validated the thematic categories and their descriptions and also verified that the clustered categories clearly outlined the pattern or meaning of her recovery experience. Results showed that recovery involves a synergetic interaction of curative factors both inside and outside of formal therapy. Once the individual acknowledges her eating problem, her bulimic behaviours begin to decrease as she experiences an increasing sense of efficacy and self-respect in areas of her life other than her body weight and shape. Her bingeing and purging gradually diminish to the point where she no longer engages in them. Aside from an occasional lapse, she now implements other activities to deal with uncomfortable emotional states. She feels stronger in knowing who she is, she cherishes herself as she is, and she is eager to affirm her personal growth by sharing her experience with recovering bulimics. In addition to a more comprehensive theoretical understanding of recovery, this study provided a deepened appreciation of the complexity of the recovery process. It also underscored the need for a multifaceted and individualized treatment approach which is adjusted throughout the recovery process as the adaptive functions or meanings of clients' eating behaviours change.

Abstract:
The series of studies reported in this thesis aimed to improve our knowledge of the cognitive disturbance in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Techniques from experimental cognitive psychology were used to test predictions made by cognitive theories of eating disorders. In the first study, subjects performed three tasks related to eating, weight and shape and self-statements were measured using concurrent verbalisation and a selfreport questionnaire. Compared to dieters and non-dieting controls, patients with bulimia nervosa showed greater concern with weight and appearance while patients with anorexia nervosa showed greater concern with eating. In the second study, using an adaptation of the Stroop colour-naming task, patients with eating disorders showed greater selective processing of information related to eating, weight and shape than normal, non-dieting controls and normal dieters. In the third study it was found that this disturbance was more closely related to measures of the specific psychopathology of eating disorders rather than to measures of general psychopathology. In the fourth study information processing before and after treatment was compared. As predicted by cognitive theories, selective processing appeared to be related to the emotional salience of the clour-named words rather than to patients' familiarity with the issues represented by these words. In the fifth study information processing before and after three different psychological treatments for bulimia nervosa was measured. No support was found for the hypothesis that cognitive behaviour therapy operates through mechanisms specific to this treatment. Contrary to predictions, in the sixth study, when colour-naming was measured at the end of treatment and at 12 month follow-up, selective information processing did not predict relapse in symptoms of bulimia nervosa. Finally, a seventh study, which manipulated attitudes to eating, weight and shape experimentally, found evidence for a causal relationship between these attitudes and disturbed eating behaviour. Methodological issues, and the clinical and theoretical relevance of the research findings, are discussed.

Abstract:
Eating-disorder clients show low motivation, poor follow-through, and inordinate premature dropout rates in treatment. To date, little research has been conducted that might provide clinicians with an understanding of the critical factors that may aid clients' recovery. Such factors may be used by clinicians to better motivate clients to collaborate in treatment. The purpose of this study was to identify some of the critical factors that women with eating disorders believed were crucial in prompting or facilitating their recovery. Identification of these factors was accomplished through a systematic content analysis of semistructured interviews with recovered or recovering bulimics and anorexics. This study may contribute significantly to future research into the development of motivational supplements to eating disorder therapy ( e.g., psychoeducational materials or therapy orientation programs). Of interest were what personal, interpersonal, or environmental factors anorexic and bulimic clients reported increased their motivation to recover, and prompted them to begin the recovery process, maintain recovery, and cope with the threat of relapse. Also, factors that subjects reported hindered their progress in recovery were examined. The anorexic and bulimic subjects reported social support as a critical factor across three stages of recovery, including beginning recovery, maintaining recovery, and coping with relapse. Being "tired" of the disorder and therapy were indicated to be relevant to beginning recovery. Improved self-esteem was deemed significant in helping subjects both maintain recovery and cope with the threat of relapse. Establishing healthy eating habits and attitudes was a necessary factor required to maintain recovery. Subjects shared that developing healthy ways to deal with emotions enabled them to deal successfully with the threat of relapse. Anorexic subjects reported that people and societal expectations, fear of becoming fat, incentive to numb emotions, and poor eating habits and attitudes impeded their recovery. Bulimic subjects indicated that people and societal expectations, incentive to numb emotions, lack of understanding, and poor eating habits and attitudes hindered their recovery.

Abstract:
Bakgrund Anorexia Nervosa och Bulimia Nervosa är två ätstörningar som kan leda till allvarliga fysiska och psykiska konsekvenser. Individer med dessa sjukdomar döljer för det mesta symtomen i den mån som går, vilket skapar stora mörkertal i samhället och försvårar sjuksköterskans förmåga att identifiera tidiga tecken. Prevalensen av ätstörningar ses öka i dagens samhälle, och sjuksköterskan kan därmed möta dessa patientgrupper i olika former av vårdkontexter. För detta krävs kunskap hos sjuksköterskan kring det omvårdnadsarbete som bedrivs vid dessa sjukdomar. Syfte Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att belysa omvårdnadsåtgärder vid Anorexia Nervosa och Bulimia Nervosa. Metod I denna litteraturöversikt har datainsamling skett genom databaserna CINAHL och PubMed. Efter noggrann kvalitetsgranskning valdes 15 artiklar av både kvalitativ och kvantitativ karaktär ut för en integrerad dataanalys. Resultat Fyra huvudkategorier som i sin tur bestod av egna underkategorier identifierades. Kategorin samtalet med tillhörande underkategorier första mötet och samtalets viktiga komponenter, kategorin socialt stöd med den terapeutiska alliansen, en svårbehandlad patientgrupp och familjen, kategorin främja hälsosamma vanor med matvanor, fysisk aktivitet och sociala aktiviteter samt kategorin kunskap och utbildning utan tillhörande underkategori. Slutsats Krav ställdes på samtalets innehåll och bemötandet önskades vara öppet, empatiskt och kunnigt. Dåliga upplevelser kunde resultera i negativa konsekvenser på tillfrisknandeprocessen. Att skapa en terapeutisk allians med såväl patient som familj lyftes vara av vikt för vårdförloppet, men karaktären av dessa sjukdomar försvårade den terapeutiska alliansen till följd av ambivalens inför viktuppgång och bristande sjukdomsinsikt. Erfarenhet och utbildning identifierades som viktiga faktorer för att kunna upprätthålla auktoritet och samtidigt balansera detta med ett empatiskt bemötande. Sjuksköterskorna ansvarade för att utbilda patienterna i hälsosamma vanor och guida patienten ur dess sociala och emotionella isolering. Ett flertal problematiska områden identifierades, varav bristande kunskap och utbildning hos vårdpersonalen var ett. I syfte att komma åt identifierade problemområden ställs krav på vidare forskning.

Abstract:
Although several writers have emphasized the habit-like characteristics of bulimia nervosa, no study has investigated the extent to which bulimia responds to treatment specifically for habit disorders. Habit reversal is a general treatment plan which teaches individuals to regain lost awareness of all aspects of a habit. The habit is then interrupted at the earliest movement in the chain by a physically competing response. Habit reversal (Azrin & Nunn, 1973) has been effective in treating other habits (e.g., stuttering, tics, bruxism). In the present study, habit reversal was adapted for the treatment of bulimia. In response to newspaper advertisements, ten females (aged 21-26) with a minimum of two binges/week were included in the study. Bingeing and vomiting ranged from .5/day to 3.57/day during baseline; duration of the disorder ranged from one to eight years. In a multiple-baseline, across-subjects design, subjects were randomly assigned to begin treatment following 14 days of baseline data collection. Subjects self-monitored and reported daily binge eating, vomiting, fasting and laxative use. Daily social contacts and athletic activities were self-monitored and reported as secondary dependent measures. A blood chemistry analysis to assess metabolic functioning, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Symptom Checklist 90-Revised (SCL-90R) were administered pre- and post-treatment. Two subjects reported cessation of bulimic episodes during baseline data collection apparently as a result of self-monitoring and frequent phone contacts. A rapid and substantial reduction in the target behaviors for the subjects who received treatment was reported following presentation of habit reversal (mean bingeing reduction=66.7%; mean vomiting reduction=52.0%). As reports of bingeing and vomiting decreased, concomitant increase in reported social contacts and athletic activities was observed in five of seven subjects without treatment for social behavior. Scores on the BDI and SCL-90 R did not change as a function of treatment. However, the self-reported frequency of binge eating during treatment correlated positively with psychopathology (r=.95, p

Abstract:
Research interest of the role that childhood anxiety plays in the predisposition of eating disorder pathology has facilitated investigation into the antecendents of this anxiety within the framework of Bowlby's (1969, 1973, 1980) attachment theory and its inherent concept of internal working models. Parallel findings within the literature on Bulimia Nervosa and insecure attachment, in terms of difficulties with affect regulation and autonomy focused behaviour, lead to the hypothesis that anxiety within close adult relationships will be positively related to bulimia. Research to date investigating attachment processes in eating disordered samples has typically focused on attachment in relation to parent-child relationships, overlooking the impact adult love relationships has on attachment. The present study investigates the links between adult attachment styles within close relationships, bulimia, dietary restraint, and relationship satisfaction. 120 female participants aged between 18 to 45 years were recruited from the University of Canterbury campus, and administered three to four brief questionnaires pertaining to the study. Results found that women with bulimia who were currently involved in romantic relationships were significantly more anxiously attached, more likely to engage in dieting behaviour and report low levels of satisfaction within their relationships. Multiple regression analyses further supported the significant independent contributions that attachment, dieting and relationship satisfaction constructs had on bulimia. Furthermore, a mediational model was supported, whereby securely attached women were more satisfied with their relationships, which in turn was related to lower levels of bulimia. The effect that secure attachment had on bulimia was not direct, but a function of relationship satisfaction within adult love relationships. The findings of this study extend results from previous research concerning anxious attachment and bulimia, into the realm of adult love relationships. Further research investigation of attachment styles within adult love relationships, in terms of specific cognitive processing and types of symptom expression within the eating disordered population, represents a productive avenue for future research.
