The purpose of this study was to explore the clinical impact of @entity1 sex abuse on bulimic @entity1 . Specifically, differences in treatment response and preliminary treatment outcome between hospitalized bulimic @entity1 with and without a reported history of @entity458 were examined. The @entity1 were evaluated for past history of alleged @entity458 by investigator-based interview and ratings of severity of @entity458 were made. Assessments of mood, eating @entity74 , and eating behaviors were conducted at the start of treatment, weekly during treatment, and three months post discharge. Sixty-one per cent (45) of the 74 @entity1 enrolled in the study reported a history of @entity1 @entity458 . The majority of such events constituted serious and very serious abuse by this study's criteria. The abused subjects exhibited higher levels of @entity308 , @entity148 , and eating disordered attitudes at each assessment point relative to nonabused subjects. In addition, abused subjects were more likely to be re-hospitalized in the 3 month post-discharge period. Significant differences in the extent of actual bulimic behaviors were not detected. Both the abused and nonabused bulimic @entity1 demonstrated significant reductions in @entity146 symptomatology from pretreatment to posttreatment, and from posttreatment to follow-up. Contrary to prediction, differences in symptomatology between the very serious, serious, and least serious abused groups were not detected. Results suggest that bulimic @entity1 with reported histories of @entity458 can be effectively engaged in a @entity1277 treatment program, but that such abuse may place @entity1 at a disadvantage owing to higher levels of pretreatment symptom severity. Findings suggest that extended and/or more specific intervention may be warranted for the abused bulimic @entity1 .
