Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been shown to be effective in treating eating disorders, including binge eating and purging. One study found a 70 to 80 percent reduction in these behaviors with the use of CBT. CBT focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behavior related to eating and body image. It has been shown to be more effective than other therapies, such as psychodynamic therapy or client centered therapy, in treating eating disorders. Aversive conditioning is not typically used in the treatment of eating disorders, as it involves associating a negative stimulus with a behavior, which may not be appropriate for someone with an already negative relationship with food and their body.
