Is CBT, in particular, more effective than other types of psychotherapy for treatment of bulimia nervosa?
The results of this analysis were inconclusive because too few data were available for analysis. Data were available from 13 RCTs that compared CBT to other psychotherapies. CBT was compared to behavioral therapy in 3 studies, and it was compared to interpersonal therapy in 2 studies. We tried to pool the data to obtain an answer, but too few data of sufficient quality were available. To satisfactorily answer this question, more data from appropriately designed controlled trials are needed.
