    Author: Fernández-Aranda F, Krug I, Jiménez-Murcia S, Granero R, Núñez A, Penelo E, Solano R, Treasure J.
    Journal: J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry; 2009 Sep; 40(3):479-86. PubMed ID: 19595294.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To examine whether outpatient treatment for male patients with bulimic symptomatology is as effective as it is for females. METHOD: The outcome of 19 male patients was compared to that of 150 female eating disorder (ED) individuals after a group CBT treatment. RESULTS: A reduction in ED symptomatology was observed after treatment for both genders. Main effects for gender indicated that after collapsing across the mean pre/post values, lower mean scores were found for men in the EAT-40, in the EDI-total score and in the following EDI subscales: "drive for thinness", "body dissatisfaction" and "interoceptive awareness". CONCLUSIONS: A group CBT treatment appears to be effective for male and female ED patients.
