Chapter 13 Treatment of the Bulimic Student:

Psychotherapy with bulimic students often focuses on abatement of the destructive symptomatology. However, a symptom-oriented approach may miss the point os this complext disorder. Treatment is needed which helps the client structure and limit problematic eating behavior but which also explores her reaction to the structuring process itself. A psychotherapy that keeps these goals in mind is recommended as a base for treatment from which psychopharmacological treatment, family therapy, or support groups can be considered as well.
