Abstract

Objective: This report describes the therapy of 2 women with bulimia nervosa who were treated using cognitive-behavioral therapy delivered via telemedicine.

Method: The telecommunication link was established using a 128-Kbps ISDN switchable data line.

Results: Both cases were treated successfully and were doing well at 1-month follow-up.

Discussion: These cases illustrate that this methodology may make it possible to deliver manual-based psychotherapies to patients with eating disorders in remote areas.
