One study measured outcomes among patients with either bulimia nervosa or eating disorder not otherwise specified (ED-NOS). Both groups showed clinically significant improvement at both the 20 week and 60 week follow up. Specifically, 39% of participants reported NO episodes of bingeing or purging over the previous 28 days, and at the 60 week follow up that number was 46%. Furthermore, an exploratory analysis showed a correlation between the psychopathology of the patient and the type of CBT employed. For patients with co-morbid disorders or more complex cases, a broader form of cognitive behavioral therapy that also addressed these other issues was more successful, while utilizing this broad method with patients who only had eating disorders had the opposite effect. For these patients, a more focused form of CBT was found to have the best results. For the therapist, the obvious recommendation is to understand the full extent of a patient’s profile before making a decision about how to execute the therapy. For patients, this means that regardless of complexity or psychiatric diagnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy can have promising results, more so than any other type of talk therapy.
