NCT00848367

Brief Summary

The main objective of the proposed study is to determine whether the effectiveness of a group therapy treatment for Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is improved and attrition reduced by optimally matching women with BED who have high attachment anxiety to Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy (GPIP). This study represents the next phase in a program of research stemming from a previously conducted randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Frequency of Binge Eating in the Past 28 Days

    Pre and Post treatment, 6 months and 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Depression Symptoms

    Pre and Post treatment, 6 months and 1 year

Study Arms (2)

High attachment anxiety condition

EXPERIMENTAL

16 weeks of Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy for patients with Binge Eating Disorder, matching them by attachment anxiety dimensions in order to enhance the impact of the therapy. It is hypothesized that by optimally matching patients to groups, they will have better clinical and health outcomes.

Behavioral: Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Low attachment anxiety condition

EXPERIMENTAL

16 weeks of Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy for patients with Binge Eating Disorder, matching them by attachment anxiety dimensions in order to enhance the impact of the therapy. It is hypothesized that by optimally matching patients to groups, they will have better clinical and health outcomes.

Behavioral: Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Interventions

Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal PsychotherapyBEHAVIORAL

This intervention will consist of 16 weekly 90 minute sessions of Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy (GPIP). GPIP was developed and empirically tested in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) at our Centre. GPIP will be preceded by an individual pre-group preparation session conducted by a psychologist trained in GPIP to orient the patient to the therapy. Patients are given a rationale for the treatment.
