E-THERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF BINGE EATING DISORDER: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder, with a prevalence higher than the prevalence of anorexia nervosa and bulimia combined (Hudson et al., 2007). Although BED officially entered the DSM-5, there are still great difficulties regarding the accessibility and availability of evidence-based treatments. The purpose of this paper is to present a critical review of the literature highlighting the use of e-therapy for BED as well as the implications for clinical practice and research.
