Abstract
AbstractThis study describes a modified long‐term group analysis for bulimic women. In a naturalistic, prospective ‘before‐and‐after’ design the study evaluates the effects of the treatment by ‘effect size’ and clinical significant change. Nine out of ten bulimic patients who completed treatment obtained recovery, not only from bulimic behaviour, but also from several different areas of psychological dysfunctioning. Long‐term psychoanalytic group treatment was found to be a valuable option for treatment of severely bulimic patients. The group concept holds many inherent advantages and can be combined with individual and antidepressant treatment. It is suggested that a wider range of measures is needed to evaluate treatment outcome. The Bulimics Maturation Scale constructed by the author is introduced as an outcome measure.
