Abstract
Data on the longitudinal course of bulimia nervosa are limited and difficult to synthesize into a clear picture. Researchers have not studied this disorder in a large enough number of subjects over a sufficient period of time to come to any firm conclusions about its course and the impact of various treatments on the long-term outcome. Our research group at the University of Minnesota has been interested in studying the clinical characteristics, course, and response to treatment for persons with bulimia nervosa since 1979.
This work was supported in part by Grants MH40377 and MH43296 from the NIMH and a grant from the Minnesota Medical Foundation.
