Abstract

This study evaluated a cognitive behavioral group treatment with bulimics. All 13 participants met the DSM-III-R criteria for bulimia nervosa. A multiple baseline design was used with three groups that received the same treatment. The duration of baseline varied for each group: 2, 6, and 10 weeks. The two primary dependent variables were daily self-reports of binging and purging. Five additional outcome measures were used to provide corroboration and to assess broader psychopathology and cognitive changes. Significant reductions in binging and purging occurred between baseline and the end of treatment and between baseline and three weeks post discharge. When data from one outlier were eliminated, those reductions were also maintained at three months post discharge. The five additional variables also showed consistent and meaningful clinical improvements. The results support the value of using a cognitive behavioral approach in group treatment with bulimics.

Abstract

This study assessed the behavioural and psychological profiles of children conceived by in-vitro fertilization (IVF) who are now at school age. A total of 743 IVF children born at one institution and now of school age, over 4 years old, were surveyed with Achenbach questionnaires. Follow-up telephone interviews were conducted with non-responders. The results from the study group were compared to the questionnaire control group using one-tailed t-test with statistical significance set less than 0.05. There was an 84% overall response rate. Sixty-seven per cent returned questionnaires. An additional 17% completed a telephone interview. The study group had no statistically significant increase in the rate of behavioural or psychological problems compared with the control group. There were no statistically significant differences within the study group related to sex or to multiple gestation IVF births. This large group of school-age IVF children has normal psychological development with no identified adverse effect of their status as IVF children. Determining the role, if any, of IVF in the very small number of children with behavioural and psychological problems will require additional study.
