Cognitive-behavioral therapy for adolescents with binge eating syndromes: a case series.

Objective: Published empirically based studies of psychotherapies for bulimia nervosa (BN) have been conducted solely with adult populations. The current study extends the extant literature by piloting a version of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for BN adapted for an adolescent population.

Method: The participants were referred for treatment for binge eating and purging behaviors at a university clinic.
