• Purgingandnon-purging(DSM)

BulimiaNervosaDSM-V•Recurrent episodes of binge-eating

• Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behaviour (such as self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas or other medications, fasting, excessive exercise) in order to prevent weight gain

• Binge-eating and compensatory behaviours occur on average at leastonce per week for 3 months

• Self-evaluation is unduly influenced by body shape or weight

• The disturbance does not occur exclusively during episodes of anorexia nervosa

BingeEatingDisorder(BED)DSMV• Recurrent episodes of binge eating.

• Bingeing episodes are associated with three or more of the following:

– Eating more rapidly than normal – Eating until uncomfortably full – Eating large amounts of food when not hungry – Eating alone because of being embarrassed by how much one is eating– Feeling, disgusted, depressed or very guilty after overeating

• Binge eating occurs on average at least 1 day per week for 3 months

• Marked distress regarding binge eating

• Absence of regular compensatory behaviours (e.g. purging)

• Changesineatingdisordersymptomatologyoccursfast,withinthefirst8sessions.

Eur.Eat.Disorders Rev.17 (2009) 260-268

§ The manual for IPT-BN10 was collaboratively developed by collecting the views of the 6 level D (supervisory level) IPT therapists working at the Leicester IPT team.

§ Feedback was also collected from 14 patients with bulimic disorderswho participated in semi-structured interviews concerning their experience with this treatment.

§ Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis for emergent themes (Haslam et al, 2011).

§ IPT BNm was analysed in detail, with particular reference to aspects of therapy identified as most helpful by patients and therapists as well as the areas felt to be intrinsic to IPT.

The Development of IPT BN10

It was felt important that aspects of treatment that were inherently IPT were maintained, whereas some of the areas could be reduced or removed.

A patient psychoeducational booklet plus homework activities were designed which allowed the patient to be placed in charge of their own recovery.

IPT-BN10 consists of 10 weekly sessions, each of 45 minutes duration.

The first 3 sessions are for the assessment of current difficulties and the interpersonal context of these, then formulate the focus area to be work through the middle 6 sessions

The final session focuses on ending and how the patient moves on from therapy to continue putting into practice what they have learned.

Questions?

N.I.C.E.Psychological treatment for bulimia nervosa in adults

• 1.5.2 Consider bulimia-nervosa-focused guided self-help for adults with bulimia nervosa.

• 1.5.4 If bulimia-nervosa-focused guided self-help is unacceptable, contraindicated, or ineffective after 4 weeks of treatment, consider individual eating-disorder-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT-ED).

• 1.5.5 Individual CBT-ED for adults with bulimia nervosa should:– typically consist of up to 20 sessions over 20 weeks, and consider twice-weekly

sessions in the first phase– in the first phase focus on:– engagement and education– establishing a pattern of regular eating, and providing encouragement, advice and

support while people do this– follow by addressing the eating disorder psychopathology (for example, the extreme

dietary restraint, the concerns about body shape and weight, and the tendency to binge eat in response to difficult thoughts and feelings)

– towards the end of treatment, spread appointments further apart and focus on maintaining positive changes and minimising the risk of relapse

– if appropriate, involve significant others to help with one-to-one treatment.
