A preliminary investigation into the feasibility and efficacy of a CD- ROM-based cognitive-behavioral self-help intervention for bulimia nervosa.

OBJECTIVE: Many patients with bulimia nervosa find it hard to access evidence-based treatment such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The aim of the current study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a novel CD- ROM-based cognitive-behavioral multimedia self-help intervention for the treatment of bulimia nervosa. METHOD: Patients with bulimia nervosa referred to a catchment area-based eating disorder service were offered eight sessions of a novel CD- ROM cognitive-behavioral self-help treatment without any added therapist input. We report here the take-up and drop-out rates and efficacy of this intervention. RESULTS: Of 60 participants who were offered the intervention, 47 took it up. At follow-up, there were significant reductions in binging and compensatory behaviors, most clearly in self-induced vomiting. DISCUSSION: This intervention has potential as a first step in the treatment of bulimia nervosa and for dissemination to nonspecialist settings.[1]
