Bulimic psychopathology and attentional biases to ego threats among non-eating-disordered women
Article Abstract:
Attentional biases to various types of ego-threatening information are differentially associated with bulimic psychopathology in non-eating-disordered women. Bulimic attitudes are more closely related to attentional bias toward self-directed criticisms rather than to those ego threats that are perceived to come from others. This pattern indicates the presence of poor self-esteem. Women with both high and low bulimic psychopathology show similar responsiveness or attentional bias to physical, sociotropy and autonomy threats, and ego threats from others.

Drop-out and failure to engage in individual outpatient cognitive behavior therapy for bulimic disorders
Article Abstract:
Standardized measures of psychological, eating and family characteristics were used to compare bulimics who fail to engage and those who drop out of cognitive behavior therapy. Among the 50 women subjects, 28 were completers, 7 failed to engage and 15 were drop outs. Results show that noncompleters suffer from severe perceived bulimia and high levels of borderline psychopathology. However, those who failed to engage and drop outs had different patterns of family emotional relationships.

Processing of threat-related information by women with blumic eating attitudes
Article Abstract:
A study of the relationship between bulimic eating attitudes and the processing of threat-related information in a group of 100 women with no eating disorder confirms women with bulimic attitudes to respond more slowly to threatening than neutral words while there is an absence of such effects in women with less bulimic attitudes. The results support the 'escape from awareness' model of bulimic behavior.
