TLDR
This article evaluated the effectiveness of group cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) and group interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for binge eating in women with nonpurging bulimia.Abstract:
This study evaluated the effectiveness of group cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) and group interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for binge eating. Fifty-six women with nonpurging bulimia were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: CBT, IPT, or a wait-list control (WL). Treatment was administered in small groups that met for 16 weekly sessions. At posttreatment, both group CBT and group IPT treatment conditions showed significant improvement in reducing binge eating, whereas the WL condition did not. Binge eating remained significantly below baseline levels for both treatment conditions at 6-month and 1-year follow-ups. These data support the central role of both eating behavior and interpersonal factors in the understanding and treatment of bulimia.read more

Outcome from a randomized controlled trial of group therapy for binge eating disorder: comparing dialectical behavior therapy adapted for binge eating to an active comparison group therapy.
TL;DR: Although both DBT-BED and ACGT reduced binge eating, DBT -BED showed significantly fewer dropouts and greater initial efficacy than ACGT, and the lack of differential findings over follow-up suggests that the hypothesized specific effects of D BTED do not show long-term impact beyond those attributable to nonspecific common therapeutic factors.

The three-factor eating questionnaire to measure dietary restraint, disinhibition and hunger
