Group Treatment of Eating Disorders in a University Counseling Center.
Snodgrass, Gregory; And Others
Sociocultural pressures to pursue an unrealistic ideal of thinness have contributed to an increasing number of students seeking help at a university counseling center for the eating disorders of anorexia nervosa and bulimia. To help these students, a group treatment technique was developed using a cognitive-behavioral approach. Treatment techniques included educational information; open discussion of Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI) profiles; and self-monitoring of stressful situations, cognitions, and behaviors. Suggestions for coping were made with specific attention to issues with family and significant others. The approach was used with a group of seven bulimic female college students. Analysis of results from the EDI; the Beck Depression Inventory; and a self-monitoring form for behaviors, cognitions, and coping behaviors documented improvement trends in participants. (Author/NB)
