Introduction

Low assertiveness and difficulties in emotion's regulation can perpetuate symptoms and worsen the outcome in patients with eating disorders (ED).

Objectives

Cognitive-behavioral-therapy (CBT) is the most effective treatment for bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorders (BED). Group training helps patients to cope with interpersonal difficulties.

Aims

Methods

Scale for Interpersonal Behavior (Arrindell et al, 1984; Sanavio, 2002), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz et al, 2004; Sighinolfi et al, 2010), Bulimic Investigatory Test of Edinburgh (BITE) were administered at baseline and one and three months after a CBT-training to 20 patients with ED (BED, NES, BN, EDNOS) (90% women, age 25-69 years).

Results
