Factors affecting dropout rate from cognitive-behavior group treatment for bulimia nervosa

Article Abstract:

The clinical factors which influenced patients to drop out from a 10-week cognitive-behavioral treatment program for bulimia nervosa were investigated. The results showed that the main differentiating factor between those who completed treatment and those who did not was the difficulty encountered by the latter in trusting and relating to others. Factors such as depression, anxiety or severity of bulimic symptoms had minimal or no influence on the dropout rate.
