Research and Treatment in the Psychobiology of Bulimia Nervosa 1 2
K. M. Pirke and W. Vandereycken When we were preparing this book,
the main purpose was to gather the latest in sights from both basic
and clinical research in bulimic disorders. The burgeoning
scientific interest in eating disorders forced us to restrict the
focus in such a way that attention was only paid to
psychobiological aspects of (disturbed) nutrition and be havior.
This implied that other important aspects, like sociocultural and
familial fac tors, had to be excluded. But it turned out that even
with such a restricted scope the subject was not an easy one. A
review of the contributions to this volume clearly shows that our
present understanding of bulimia nervosa is still very small.
Reviewing the hypothalamic and especially neuroendocrine regulation
of nutrient balance, Bray has emphasized the importance of the
autonomic nervous system in regulating food intake and energy
expenditure. The role of insulin, adrenal steroids, gonadal
steroids, and growth hormone in modulating nutrient intake and
storage were discussed. The studies by Jimerson et aI. , Schweiger
et aI. , and Fichter et al. show that all these factors are altered
in bulimic patients, indicating that the whole system of regulating
food intake and storage is severely disturbed in bulimia nervosa.
Evidence has been presented that neurotransmitter alterations may
occur in bulimia: Jimerson et al.
Die Bulimie ist eine besonders schwere E st-rung mit unkon-
trollierbaren E anf{llen, willk}rlich herbeigef}hrem Erbre- chen,
exzessivem Fasten oder Abf}hrmittelgebrauch, die das }berm{ ige
Essen kompensieren sollen. Bei l{ngerer Krank- heitsdauer leiden
die Betroffenen - meist M{dchen und junge Frauen - nicht nur unter
psychischen Problemen, wie Depres- sionen, sondern auch unter
erheblichen k-rperlichen Beein- tr{chtigungen. Im theoretischen
Teil des Buches wird das f}r jeden therapeutisch t{tigen Kliniker
notwendige Basiswissen zur Bulimie vermittelt. Der Hauptteil des
Buches besteht aus einem detailliertenManual f}r die einzel- und
gruppenthera- peutische Behandlung mit einer F}lle flexibel
einsetzbarer Interventionsbausteine. Die Therapeuten finden
strukturierte Vorschl{ge zur Gestaltung der Therapiesitzungen sowie
zu den m-glichen Schwierigkeiten bei der Behandlung. Der umfangrei-
che Anhang enth{lt Materialien f}r Diagnostik und Therapie sowie
Informationsbrosch}ren f}r die Patientinnen }ber Buli- mie,
Probleme des K-rpers, des Gewichtes und }ber Ern{hrung.
