The Binge Eating Disorder (BED) consists in binge eating with a loss of control and guilty feeling. Weigh excessive preoccupation, psychiatric comorbidities and psychosocial impairment are associated to BED. BED prevalence is 3 to 5%, which is the more frequent eating disorder. The efficacy of CBT is well-known with several publications.
Method
We have proposed 12 sessions of 1.30 hours for a 6 to 8 patients group, managed by a psychiatrist trained to CBT. Each session approaches a different topic (eating behavioural, self-esteem, problem resolution, stigmatization, emotion coping, cognitive therapy…).
Assessment
Patients are evaluated before and after therapy with Eating Disorder Inventory version 2 and Rathus Scale for self-esteem. Thirty patients were included.
Results
Patients improve eating behavioural and other topics like self-esteem, social functioning, problem resolution and emotion coping. It appears that 12 sessions group CBT could be effective with patients who suffer of BED. Others studies are needed to evaluate the long-term outcome.
