Abstract
“Ashley Greene” was a 42-year-old married mother of three children who worked as an operating-room nurse. She volunteered to participate in the study after hearing it described in a hospital colloquium. She met the DSM-III-R criteria for Bulimia, being an episodic binge eater and purger; purging was usually triggered by feelings of physical or psychological fullness. Ashley would not vomit for perhaps a few days, and then would vomit daily, sometimes several times per day, for perhaps a week, followed by another few days of no vomiting, etc.
