Evaluation of a Functional Treatment for Binge Eating Associated with Bulimia NervosaDeWeese-Giddings, Tamela Cheri 30 June 2008 (has links)
Binge-eating disorders are a common problem affecting up to 5 percent of the American population in any given 6-month period. Currently, the most widely accepted treatment is some variation of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Although there is an abundance of research showing positive effects, the abstinence rates following this type of treatment are currently around 50%. A recent study by Bosch, Miltenberger, Gross, Knudson, and Brower-Breitwieser (2008) explored the effects of extinction on binge-eating behavior that was hypothesized to be maintained by relief from negative emotional responding. The study involved four women who engaged in binge-eating behavior, one of whom met the diagnostic criteria for Bulimia Nervosa. The treatment was successful, with three of the four participants obtaining abstinence. To date, this has been the only study examining this procedure and with only four participants. The purpose of the current study was to further evaluate extinction of binge eating maintained by automatic negative reinforcement with women who met diagnostic criteria for Bulimia Nervosa. Four young women enrolled in the study, three of whom met criteria for Bulimia Nervosa. The results showed that the treatment decreased binge eating to zero for all four women, although one dropped out of the study shortly after beginning the intervention.

Entwicklung eines Fragebogens zur Diagnostik von Essstörungen auf Basis von Daten etablierter diagnostischer Verfahren / Development of a questionnaire for the diagnostic of eating disorders based on established diagnostic methodsEichhorn, Klaus-Gregor 04 January 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Die vorliegende Arbeit entwickelt einen Vorschlag für einen neuen, kompakteren Fragebogen mit dem Akronym „BaFEK-45“ zur Diagnostik von Essstörungen, der auf einer statistischen Analyse von Daten aus fünf bereits etablierten Fragebogen (ANIS, EAT – 26, FBeK, EDI – 2, EDES) mit einer Gesamtzahl von 231 Items basiert. Dabei wurden die Antworten von Patientinnen aus den 1990er- und 2000er-Jahren der Klinik und Poliklinik für Psychiatrie, Psychotherapie und
Psychosomatik des Kindes- und Jugendalters der Universität Leipzig ausgewertet. Auf Grundlage zweier „Signalfragen“ zu Ess-Anfällen wurden die Fragebogen-Serien in drei Gruppen (anorektisch, bulimisch und grenzwertig) eingeteilt, daraufhin konnte eine Analyse zu den Unterschieden im Antwortverhalten zwischen eben diesen Gruppe vorgenommen werden. Nach einem auf dieser Analyse basierenden Auswahlverfahren wurden die verbliebenen Items einer
mehrstufigen Faktorenanalyse und kritischen inhaltlichen Differenzierung unterzogen. An deren Ende steht der o.g. Vorschlag eines neuen Diagnostikinstruments, das sich aus 45 Fragen in fünf
Skalen zusammensetzt.

Sociální příčiny mentální bulimie / Social causes of bulimia nervosaBlahotová Kostková, Tereza January 2017 (has links)
This master's thesis deals with the topic of social causes of bulimia nervosa. In the first part of my thesis I focus on the theoretical introduction. I present the matter of eating disorders in general, which I consider to be an important basis for another part of my work. I am dealing here with the general introduction - what are eating disorders, which eating disorders are known to us, I introduce their causes, consequences, sexuality issues in patients with eating disorders and, last but not least, eating disorders in men and children. For a better understanding of the disease, the theoretical introduction is supplemented by brief client testimonials from my practice. In the next part of the thesis I deal with the topic itself, the social causes of bulimia nervosa. I focus on the issue of the family and its possible influence on the origin of the illness. Furthermore, the influence of society as such, especially the relationship of society to the ideal of beauty and the development of the ideal of beauty in history. I explore the influence of the printed media, television, advertising on bulimia nervosa as well. The last part of my work is a qualitative survey. It consists of three case studies and an interview with four respondents.

Komorbidita abúzu alkoholu a poruch příjmu potravy: Prevalence poruch příjmu potravy u žen hospitalizovaných pro abúzus alkoholu / Comorbidity of Alcohol Abuse and Eating Disorders: Prevalence of Eating Disorders among Women Hospitalized for Alcohol AbuseRolová, Gabriela January 2017 (has links)
Introduction: Results of previous studies have shown a significant association be- tween alcohol abuse and eating disorders which often co-occur as a comorbidity. The co-occurrence of these diseases brings significant medical, social, and psychological complications and predicts a worse course of both disease and outcomes. Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to verify the association between the alcohol abuse and eating disorders by detecting the prevalence of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder in women who are receiving the treatment for alcohol abuse. Methods: The survey includes 51 women hospitalized for alcohol abuse in PN Bohnice. The data were obtained during the questionnaire survey using the Munich Eating Disorder Questionnaire (Munich ED-Quest) and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identifi- cation Test (AUDIT), supplemented by socio-demographic questions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS. Results: In total, 25.5% of respondents suffer from eating disorders at some point. Currently, 9.8% of women with an average age of 38.6 years with a median of 40 years suffer from eating disorder. In the past, 23,5% of respondents were affected by eating disorders. For the current period, 1.96% of women have met the diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa and...

Middle School Teachers' Intentions to Refer Eating Disorder Students for Professional CounselingCarr, Diann P. 02 November 2011 (has links)
Eating disorders can lead to a negative impact on students' academic growth, nutrition and can cause death (Claude-Pierre, 1997; Manley, Rickson, & Standeven, 2000; Romeo, 1996). Early intervention by referring students to professional counseling might help counter these negative consequences. The teacher is in the position to assist students by providing health information, identifying those with problems, and intervening for a variety of dysfunctions that may include the eating disorders called anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa (Myers-Clark & Christopher, 2000). However teachers are in a difficult position to know when to address student concerns and judge what action to take (Ransley,1999). Teachers' engagement seems crucial (Smolak, Harris, Levine, & Shisslak, 2001) since eating disorders are being identified in younger children.The purpose of this study was to examine (a) the relationships of the theoretical constructs, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control of the theory of planned behavior as predictors of behavioral intention (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980) of middle school teachers to identify and refer suspected anorexia nervosa (AN) and/or bulimia nervosa (BN) students for professional help; and (b) the actual behavior of middle school teachers who reported having ever referred a student suspected of having AN and BN and those teachers who reported not having made such a referral. One hundred fourteen middle school teachers in Broward County, Florida volunteered to participate in the ex post facto research. Data were collected from a questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the constructs of subjective norm (perception of what others think about one's performance of behavior combined with motivation to comply) and perceived behavioral control (perception regarding the extent of the difficulty of performing the behavior) were predictive of teachers' intent (likelihood of engaging in a behavior) to refer. However, the analysis revealed that attitude (overall positive or negative feeling with respect to performing the behavior) was not predictive of teachers' intent. Discriminant function analysis revealed that both intent and perceived behavioral control were predictive of group membership, either having referred a student suspected of having an eating disorder for counseling or not having made such a referral. Attitude and subjective norm were not predictive of group membership.

Young Women's Perceptions of Factors Influencing Eating DisordersMasawi, Francisca 01 January 2018 (has links)
Eating disorders (EDs) cause irreversible physical damage, including organ failure and death. Although EDs receive considerable attention, the number of affected young women who seek help remains low. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand the sociocultural and socioenvironmental factors influencing ED development from the perspective of young women, and to explore why the rate of EDs continues to rise in this population. The sociocultural model served as a guide for the study. Ten young women 18-24 years old from Southwest Ohio participated in in-depth, semi structured, face-to-face interviews. Data coding and analysis revealed recurring themes, with findings indicating that family relationships and social media were major factors influencing young women's perceptions of personal image and attractiveness. Participants described that social media's negative portrayal of beauty leads to internalization of the thin-ideal, leading to body dissatisfaction, with subsequent negative dieting behaviors that increase the risk for eating disorder development. Family relationships were described as the main source of positive support to neutralize these external negative forces by creating environments where these young women are accepted. A combination of media, availability of fast food, and society's portrayal of beauty, had significant influences on ED development by creating "constant internal struggles" on body image, good food choices and acceptance in society. The study impacts social change by adding new information for public health program developers and policy makers that may be used to introduce ED programs in local schools that will empower these young women to seek help without fear of stigma or alienation.

Descriptions of Disordered Eating in German Psychiatric Textbooks, 1803–2017Bergner, Lukas, Himmerich, Hubertus, Kirkby, Kenneth C., Steinberg, Holger 31 March 2023 (has links)
The most common eating disorders (EDs) according to DSM-5 are anorexia nervosa
(AN), bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED). These disorders have
received increasing attention in psychiatry due to rising prevalence and high morbidity
and mortality. The diagnostic category “anorexia nervosa,” introduced by Ernest-Charles
Lasègue and William Gull in 1873, first appears a century later in a German textbook of
psychiatry, authored by Gerd Huber in 1974. However, disordered eating behavior has
been described and discussed in German psychiatric textbooks throughout the past 200
years. We reviewed content regarding eating disorder diagnoses but also descriptions
of disordered eating behavior in general. As material, we carefully selected eighteen
German-language textbooks of psychiatry across the period 1803–2017. Previously, in
German psychiatry, disordered eating behaviors were seen as symptoms of depressive
disorders, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, or as manifestations of historical diagnoses
no longer used by the majority of psychiatrists such as neurasthenia, hypochondria and
hysteria. Interestingly, 19th and early 20th century psychiatrists like Kraepelin, Bumke,
Hoff, Bleuler, and Jaspers reported symptom clusters such as food refusal and vomiting
under these outdated diagnostic categories, whereas nowadays they are listed as core
criteria for specific eating disorder subtypes. A wide range of medical conditions such as
endocrinopathies, intestinal or brain lesions were also cited as causes of abnormal food
intake and body weight. An additional consideration in the delayed adoption of eating
disorder diagnoses in German psychiatry is that people with EDs are commonly treated
in the specialty discipline of psychosomatic medicine, introduced in Germany afterWorld
War II, rather than in psychiatry. Viewed from today’s perspective, the classification of
disorders associated with disordered eating is continuously evolving. Major depressive
disorder, schizophrenia and physical diseases have been enduringly associated with
abnormal eating behavior and are listed as important differential diagnoses of EDs
in DSM-5. Moreover, there are overlaps regarding the neurobiological basis and
psychological and psychopharmacological therapies applied to all of these disorders.
