Bulimia Nervosa treated with an adapted version of Carroll’s Cognitive-Behavioral Approach for Treatment of Cocaine addiction

Bulimia Nervosa (BN) is difficult to treat. Although Cognitive-Behavioral (CB) Therapy for BN seems to be effective, some patients do not benefit from it. A case of bulimia nervosa, treated with the Carroll’s CB Approach for Cocaine addiction, is described. At first visit the patient satisfied the BN diagnosis and was on sertraline. She had completed a standard CB therapy with poor results. After 12 sessions of Carroll’s Approach, the patient did not satisfy the BN diagnosis anymore and had stopped sertraline. Carroll’s CB Approach seems promising for treatment resistant BN cases.
