Participants included 151 females who received outpatient eating disorder treatment in the partial hospitalization program, the intensive outpatient program, or a combination of the two programs. Outcome measures included the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI-2), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), frequency of binge eating and purging, and mean body weight. Findings included significant increases in weight for the AN group, reductions in binge eating frequency for the BN group, and reductions in EDI-2 and BDI-II scores and purging frequency for both groups. This study provides preliminary support for the efficacy of a multimodal program for the treatment of both anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.

The program utilizes an integrative approach, combining evidence-based treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy with clinical experience and additional multimodal interventions based on individual needs. Three modes of treatment used in the program (group therapy, family therapy, and individual therapy) and two levels of treatment (partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient) are described in detail. The effectiveness of the treatment program was evaluated by comparing pre-treatment and post-treatment data on outcome measures for eating disorder attitudes, personality characteristics, and symptoms, as well as depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms. Results indicated that after an average of 12.8 weeks of treatment, patients reported a significant reduction in eating disorder symptoms, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms, and a significant increase in weight at post-treatment. Implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed.
