Preliminary results are reported on the efficacy of a 4-month group (n = 8) therapy compared with waiting-list controls (n = 9) in women with DSM-III bulimia. Treatment consisted of a standard behaviorally oriented stress management program and of basic nutritional management. A significantly greater decrease in binge frequency and specific psychopathology was found in the treated compared with the waiting-list group. The treated subjects showed further improvement 3 months after treatment termination. The usefulness of the different treatment components is briefly discussed.
