Benefits Of Binge-Eating Therapies Persist

Group-analytic and psychoeducational therapy benefits among patients with binge-eating disorder persist for at least one year. This was the finding of Dr Rossana Ciano and colleagues at the Clinica Psichiatrica, Dipartimento di Patologia e Medicina SC, Università di Udine, Italy, following a study into the efficacy of analytic psychotherapy and psychoeducation in two groups of patients.

The psychotherapeutic regimen consisted on group-analytic psychotherapy of 14 sessions over a 28-week period. The group psychoeducational intervention consisted of 10 sessions over a 10-week period. Follow-up assessments were at six months and 12 months. The researchers said that at the end of treatment, most patients were without eating disorders and had a lower rate of binge episodes: “The psychoeducational group patients improved markedly in alexithymic traits related to the ability to describe feelings.”
