Eight bulimic females completed a 16‐week comprehensive behavioral treatment program consisting of three interventions: exposure with response prevention ( ERP ), training in energy balance ( EB ), and personal social problem solving ( PSPS ). Together the interventions contributed to a 89.9% average reduction in vomiting below the baseline level. Significant changes were also evident in self‐report measures of psychopathology, social anxiety, and depression. Five of six subjects available at a one year follow‐up maintained or enhanced the gains made during the course of treatment.
