An Integrative Intervention for Binge Eating Among Adolescent Girls

investigators hypothesize that this intervention will serve to reduce binge and LOC eating,
as well as improve psychosocial functioning as evidenced by decreased depression, anxiety,
eating disorder cognitions, and impulsivity, and improved quality of life.
