Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Early Non-Responders to CBT
Temple University is looking for women to participate in a study to evaluate the treatment
options available to women living with binge eating disorder.
Binge-Eating Disorder is a significant public health problem for women. Despite this, there
is limited research on how best to treat this disorder at varying levels of severity. The
purpose of this NIMH-funded study is to enroll individuals in a brief form of
cognitive-behavior therapy. If more intense treatment is needed, individuals will be randomly
assigned to more intensive group and individual treatments (Cognitive-Behavior Therapy or
Dialectical Behavior Therapy). Both of these treatments are talking therapies that have been
adapted for women living with binge-eating disorder and are free of charge.
