Abstract

In order to examine the effects of a cognitive-behavioral program and a meditation program on early adolescent binge eating, body dissatisfaction, and weight reduction, 16 middle school girls, belonging to a high risk group, were trained in a CBT or CBTMn (CBT+Meditation) training program. Both the CBT and CBTM groups were lower in bulimic symptoms, binge eating and BMI than the waiting-list control group after 6-weeks training. The CBTM group was lower in body dissatisfaction and BMI than the CBT group at the 2-month follow-up. Results were discussed in terms of the results of past studies and future research considerations.
