Abstract
This study reports the short-term (nine months) follow-up effects of eight weeks of hypnobehavioural and cognitive behavioural treatment of bulimia nervosa. Of the 78 subjects who entered treatment, 48 completed a closed follow-up of nine months duration. The results based on this sample showed that there were no differences in abstinence from bingeing and purging between the treatments and that abstinence increased over time for both treatments. Also, there were no differences between treatments on eating pathology, bulimic behaviours or general psychopathology measures in the short term. Both treatment types were equally acceptable to patients. The results were compared with other studies. It was suggested that the model for HBT is comparable in validity with the model underlying CBT and that HBT could justifiably be recommended as an alternative to CBT.
