OBJECTIVE: Over the last few years there has been growing concern about bulimia nervosa in Korea, but there was only a few clinical study, especially about outcome and predictors. CBT combined with pharmacotherapy has been recognized as the most effective short-term treatment modality, but there was nonresponders. The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that influence treatment response and outcome in patients with bulimia nervosa. The identification of prognostic factors in bulimia nervosa will help clinicians to deliver the most appropriate type of initial treatment to patients. METHOD: The subjects were 62 patients from the outpatients of Mind & Mind psychiatric clinic, who had been previously evaluated by EDI-2 and MMPI. The sociodemographic data, disease progress, past history, family history, BMI, EDI-2 and MMPI were variables assessed. All patients received a 12-week course of CBT combined with pharmacotherapy (fluoxetine 20-60mg/d). Responders and non-responders group ware compared with each variables. Responders were defined as patients who had maximum symptom frequencies of three or less during the last 4 weeks of treatment. RESULT: Among 62 patients, responders were 32 and non-responders were 30. There was no difference in sociodemographic variables such as age, education level, job, marriage. As a result of comparing the two groups, non-responders were differentiated by their higher frequency of binge eating vomiting, history of suicide attempt, family history of psychiatric illness and use of laxatives or diuretics. And among the subscale of EDI-2, there were significant high scores in bulimia, ineffectiveness, interoceptive awareness. CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that frequency of binge eating, vomiting, history of suicide attempt, family history of psychiatric illness, and use of laxatives or diuretics could be prognostic factors in patients with bulimia nervosa.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the influence of parental behaviors on the onset and severity of eating disorders, this study compared aspects of perceived parental styles, according to eating disorder subtypes and age at onset in Korean women with eating disorders. METHODS: One hundred and sixty-seven patients with eating disorders[Anorexia Nervosa (AN), N=49; Bulimia Nervosa(BN), N=118] were recruited for this study. Perceived parent behaviors were assessed with Parental Behavior Inventory(PBI) self-rating scale. The study subjects also completed the Eating Disorder Inventory -2 (EDI-2) to assess the severity of eating disorder symptoms. RESULTS: In anorexia nervosa, early onset group(<16 years) reported low paternal affection and high paternal rational expression, low maternal interference than group with age at onset over 16 years. The severity of eating disorder symptoms was negatively associated with mother affection and rational expression in two subtypes of eating disorder(AN and BN). On stepwise regression analysis, paternal affection and maternal over-protection were associated with age of onset only in AN group and maternal affection was associated with the severity of symptoms in both groups of eating disorder. CONCLUSIONS: Considering the role of family function and perceived parental styles could help improve the management of eating disorders. These results emphasize the importance of fathers' role in the eating disorder on the age of onset, a relatively unexplored area of eating disorder research. Also, we investigated the importance of mothers' affection on the severity of symptoms.

OBJECTIVES: This study compared cognitive-behavioral traits related to eating behaviors, obsessive-compulsive traits, and depression levels in bulimic subjects with and without a history of anorexia nervosa according to the perspective that there are common diagnostic transitions over time in subgroups of eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and eating disorder not otherwise specified). METHODS: We compared EDI-2, MOCI, and BDI scores between the bulimic group with a history of anorexia (n=98), the bulimic group without a history of anorexia (n=99), and the non-clinic group (n=100) by ANOVA. RESULTS: The bulimic group with a history of anorexia showed significantly higher scores on four of the EDI-2 subscales (Ineffectiveness, Interoceptive Awareness, Impulse Regulation and Social Insecurity) than the other two groups. They also indicated significantly higher scores on both the MOCI subscale 'rumination' and BDI than both the other groups. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that it is important to consider a prior history of anorexia nervosa in order to understand symptom severity in patients with bulimia. Psychological variables such as ineffectiveness, impulse regulation, social insecurity, rumination, and depression are crucial to consider while treating bulimics with a history of anorexia.

5.Cognitive Bahavioral therapy of binge Eating.
Korean Journal of Psychopharmacology 1997;8(1):23-41
Many therapeutic approaches for treafment of binge eating problem including cognitive-behavioral therapy, behavior therapy, focal psychotherapy. psychoanalysis, nutritional counseling, family intervention, psychoeducation, and medication have value. Nevertheless, current research suggest that the most important approant approach to date is a specific form of cognilive-behavioral therapy designed ariginally for patients with bulimia nervosa and recently adapfed for those with binge eating disorder and anorexia nervosa. But it is also important to stress that cognitive-behavioral therapy is not panacea, some patients fail to benefit and others made only limited gains. So there is a need for clinician not only to carefully assess the patient status before freatment start but also to become familiar with and be able to introduce other therapeutic approach.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships of stress, depression, binge eating and food behavior of high school girls with their degree of BMI. One hundred twenty high school girls from the Seoul metropolitan area participated in this study. Self-administrated questionnaires to search for degree of stress, depression, binge eating, and food behavior were distributed. Anthropometric assessment was carried out to calculate the body mass index (BMI). The results are as follows: The mean of age and BMI of the subjects were 17.6 +/- 0.6 years and 21.0 +/- 2.9 kg/m2 (ranged from 15.4 to 31.7 kg/m2), respectively. 16.7%, 65.8% and 17.5% of the subjects were classified as under weight, normal weight and overweight, respectively. The average scores of stress, depression and binge eating were 124.9 +/- 31.4, 15.2 +/- 9.8, 29.5 +/- 7.8 points, respectively. The food behavior score was 11.5 +/- 2.4 points. Their degree of stress, depression, binge eating was significantly higher in overweight high school girls compared to underweight or normal weight high school girls. There were significant correlations of BMI with stress (P < 0.05), depression (P < 0.001), and binge eating (P < 0.01). Also there were significant correlations of food behavior with stress (P < 0.05), depression (P < 0.05) and binge eating (P < 0.001). These results indicate that the high school girls who have higher BMI seem to have more stress, depression, and binge eating habits. Also the high school girls who have more stress, depression and binge eating habits have poor food behaviors. Therefore proper control of emotions is required to maintain desirable food behaviors in high school girls.

Dental erosion is defined as tooth structure loss by acidic chemical substance. It is caused by extrinsic factors such as acidic foods, drugs, and working environments, and also intrinsic factors such as gastric acid regurgitation in gastro-esophageal disorder or intensive vomiting in bulimia nervosa. These lesions can be treated with direct resin filling, laminate or full contour crown depending on the intensity of clinical problem. This is a case report about treatment of rare clinical case: labial erosion of anterior tooth caused by frequent intake of acidic fruit and palatal erosion of anterior tooth caused by intensive vomiting in bulimia nervosa.

Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2004;34(1):25-34
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop the day hospital program for Korean eating disorders patients and to examine the effect of the day hospital program on improving frequency of binging and purging, eating disorders symptoms, self-esteem, and depression. METHOD: The subjects were 24 binge eaters visited at eating disorders clinic "M". They participated in a modified day hospital program based on the Toronto Day Hospital Program. All subjects completed the Eating Disorders Inventory(EDI)-2, Rosenberg Self-Eesteem Scale, Beck Depression Inventory(BDI) at pre and post intervention, and recorded daily food records. RESULT: In paired t-test analysis, frequency of binging and purging, self-esteem, depression, and 11 sub-scales of EDI-2(drive for thinness, bulimia, body dissatisfaction, ineffectiveness, interoceptive awareness, perfectionism, interpersonal distrust, maturity fear, asceticism, impulse regulation, social insecurity) were significantly improved after treatment. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that the day hospital program for Korean eating disorders patients may be an effective initial approach to overcoming various eating disorders symptoms. Further studies should investigate longer term outcome data using a larger sample.

10.Cognitive Behavior Therapy of Bulimia Nervosa in a Male Patient: A Case Report.
Journal of Korean Neuropsychiatric Association 1999;38(4):915-924
Bulimia nervosa is a disorder that is defined as binge eating combined with inappropriate ways of stopping weight gain. It is significantly more common in females than in males. Males in bulimia account for 10-15% of all bulimic patients. There are many methods of treatment, including drug therapy, or psychotherapy. Among them cognitive behavior therapy is reported to be the most effective method of improving the binge eating behavior and the cognitive distortion about body weight and body image. In this case, a male bulimic patient, who was hospitalized in the closed ward involuntarily, was treated with modified Fairburn's cognitive behavior therapy model. After 6 weeks of treatment, binge eating and self-induced vomiting behaviors were controlled and weight gain was nearly successful.
