Abstract
The pre and posttreatment self-monitored caloric intake of bulimic subjects treated with either cognitive-behavioral therapy or imipramine was compared. Results indicated that both groups equally and successfully reduced purged calories but that only cognitive-behaviorally treated subjects increased non-purged caloric intake. These results show that cognitive-behavioral treatment lessens dietary restraint whereas imipramine treatment of bulimia nervosa does not. These findings are discussed and it is suggested that they may account for the superior therapeutic maintenance following cognitive-behavioral treatment when compared with pharmacological treatment of bulimia nervosa.
