State/trait distinctions in bulimic syndromes

Article Abstract:

It is important to determine what psychopathological characteristics in bulimic syndromes are state-related disturbances, linked only with the actively bulimic state, and what characteristics are trait disturbances, existing whether the patient is in an active phase of eating disorder or not. It has been found that psychopathological features characteristic of active bingers seem to differ from features characteristic of such cases when they are in remission. The latter features are seen as trait tendencies. If depression and anxiety are frequently state disturbance in bulimic syndromes, such symptoms may often resolve with the resolution of eating disorder.

Childhood and adulthood abuse in bulimic and nonbulimic women: prevalences and psychological correlates

Article Abstract:

Research suggests an association between psychopathologic traits and the likelihood of abuse, especially when women were abused as children and adults. Bulimic women reported significantly higher abuse rates than nonbulimic women, and more severe abuse often produced severe cases of bulimia.

Impulsivity, dietary control and the urge to binge in bulimic syndromes

Article Abstract:

Dietary Control is generally linked with Urge to Binge in sufferers of bulimic syndromes. However, results in particularly impulsive individuals indicate that Dietary Control and Urge to Binge are quite desynchronous or randomly connected. The apparent lack of a connection between Dietary Control and Urge to Binge observed in impulsive people could have significant theoretical implications. It is suggested that impulsive bulimics may not respond well to interventions focused on dietary restraint.
