Abstract
The aim of the study was to pilot a brief form of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for the treatment of patients with bulimic disorders. Ten patients with bulimic disorder treated with a new brief version of IPT (IPT-BN10) completed measurements of eating disorders psychopathology (Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire, Bulimic Investigatory Test Edinburgh) and depression (Beck Depression Inventory). The results were matched with a group of patients treated with conventional IPT and with waiting list control. Statistical differences were found between starting and ending of therapy for those patients treated with IPT-BN10. Statistical difference was also found when comparing with waiting list control. The pilot study suggests that IPT-BN10 may be an effective treatment for patients having bulimic disorders; however, this hypothesis needs to be tested in an experimental way.
