Internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for eating disorders - Development and feasibility evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Eating disorders (ED) are severe psychiatric conditions, characterized by decreased quality of life and high mortality. However, only a minority of patients with ED seek care and very few receive treatment.

Aims

The aims of the present study were to (1) develop and evaluate the usability of an Internet-delivered guided self-help treatment based on Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT-E) for patients with full or subthreshold bulimia nervosa (BN) or binge eating disorder (BED) with a user centered design process, and (2) to evaluate its feasibility and preliminary outcome in a clinical environment.
