The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT-E) for @entity1277 in an open trial for adults with the full range of @entity1277 found in the community. The only previously published trial of CBT-E for @entity1277 was a randomised controlled trial (RCT) conducted in the U.K. for @entity1 with a BMI >=  17.5. The current study represents the first published trial of CBT-E to include @entity1 with a BMI<17.5. The study involved 125 @entity1 referred to a public outpatient clinic in Perth, Western Australia. @entity1 attended, on average, 20-40 individual sessions with a clinical psychologist. Of those who entered the trial, 53% completed treatment. Longer waiting time for treatment was significantly associated with drop out. By the end of treatment full remission (cessation of all key @entity1277 behaviours, BMI >=  18.5 kg/m(2), not meeting DSM-IV criteria for an @entity1277 ) or partial remission (meeting at least 2 these criteria) was achieved by two thirds of the @entity1 who completed treatment and 40% of the total sample. The results compared favourably to those reported in the previous RCT of CBT-E, with one exception being the higher drop-out rate in the current study. Overall, the findings indicated that CBT-E results in significant improvements, in both eating and more general psychopathology, in @entity1 with all @entity1277 attending an outpatient clinic.
