Cognitive-behavioral therapy for bulimia nervosa. Lansdale: HAYES, Inc.. Directory Publication. 2012 Authors' conclusions Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for bulimia nervosa (BN) is intended to reduce or eliminate the core symptoms of binge eating, purging, and compensatory behaviors associated with the disorder. CBT is a form of psychotherapy, and when tailored to treat BN, the therapist helps the patient identify distorted thinking patterns, recognize and change inaccurate beliefs, relate to others in more positive ways, and change binge eating and purging behaviors. CBT includes educational, behavioral, and cognitive therapy elements. Treatments typically require weekly or biweekly
sessions over several months or longer, depending on the severity of the disorder.
