Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Patients will be found and contacted via internet, get specialized medical investigations, medical care and support via emails. As control group 100 patients with bulimia are treated with bibliotherapy only. Beside effectivity, predictors of outcome (clinical, comorbidity, indication to change, personality) are investigated.
The proposed study is a randomised controlled trial for effectivity and practicability of new technologies in psychiatric treatment research.
This is not a psychotherapy study but a study on psychoeducation, an approach which offers new and helpful opportunities for this patient group.
