The current study tested a psychosocial interactive model of perfectionism, self-efficacy, and weight/shape concern within a sample of women with clinically significant bulimic symptoms, examining how different dimensions of perfectionism operated in the model. Individuals with bulimia nervosa (full
A 25-year-old female patient with a 9-year history of bulimia nervosa gave a 2-year history of regularly ingesting up to 24 x 300 mg aspirin tablets to facilitate vomiting after a binge. Awareness of this dangerous practice is important when asking for an eating disorder history. Assessing for the

An "epidemic" prevalence of binge eating and vomiting (bulimia nervosa) has been reported, and treatment has been claimed to be difficult. This paper describes a short term outpatient treatment programme of eclectic orientation capable of being conducted by non-specialist staff, under medical
The relation of mood and stress to binge eating and vomiting in the natural environments of patients with bulimia nervosa (BN) was examined using real-time data collection. Women (n = 131; mean age = 25.3 years) with BN carried a palmtop computer for 2 weeks and completed ratings of positive affect
While there is considerable evidence that bulimic behaviors serve the function of modifying internal states (e.g., satiety, mood), there is less clarity over the roles of the different behaviors across the binge-purge cycle. The present study examines the impact of bingeing and vomiting upon these
The nutritional status of 21 patients suffering from bulimia nervosa was evaluated by anthropometric and immunologic indexes in comparison with a control group (n = 15). In addition, the influence of body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2) values and vomiting episodes on the nutritional status of bulimic
