[Contributions of discussion groups in the therapeutic education of bulimic disorders]

Abstract

The treatment of patients suffering from bulimic disorders requires a multidisciplinary approach combining a somatic approach and a psychiatric approach. The Maison des adolescents of the Cochin Hospital offers a therapeutic education program focused on the management of compulsive binge eating. Its modalities have been modified over the years in order to better adjust to the needs of these patients. Monthly discussion groups have been added to the individual interviews, and have been key points in structuring the treatment.
