Mechanisms of Action in Cognitive-Behavioral and Pharmacological Interventions for Obesity and Bulimia Nervosa.
Craighead, Linda W.; Agras, W. Stewart
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v59 n1 p115-25 Feb 1991
Summarizes data pertaining to separate and combined effects of cognitive-behavioral and psychopharmacologic treatments for obesity and bulimia nervosa. Anorexiant medication appears to enhance restraint and facilitates weight loss with behavioral interventions in the treatment of obesity, but relapse occurs once medication is withdrawn. Antidepressants appear to enhance restraint whereas cognitive-behavioral treatment decreases restraint in the treatment of bulimia. (Author/PVV)
