NIMH: Family Involvement and Focused Intervention May be Key to Helping Teens with Bulimia

Family-based treatment for adolescent bulimia nervosa (FBT-BN) is more effective than an individual-based therapy called supportive psychotherapy (SPT) in helping teens overcome bulimia according to an NIMH-funded study. Participants who received FBT-BN also showed faster treatment effects than those who received SPT. The study was published in the September 2007 issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry.
