This study examined pretreatment variables to predict outcome in two treatments for bulimia nervosa.Patients were offered either 16 weeks of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or a self-treatment manual followed by up to 8 weeks of CBT (sequential group). Using complete data, stepwise regression analyses were performed.It was found that a longer duration of illness and lower binge frequency predicted a better outcome both at the end of treatment (p.001) and at 18 months of follow-up (p.005). In the sequential group, lower pretreatment binge frequency predicted better outcome at the end of treatment (p.05) and at 18 months of follow-up (p.05). In the CBT group, longer duration of illness predicted better outcome at the end of treatment (p.02).It is concluded that (1) those with more frequent binging may require a more intense intervention and (2) those who have been ill longer may be more motivated to respond to treatment. |
