The main objective of the proposed study is to determine whether the effectiveness of a group therapy treatment for Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is improved and attrition reduced by optimally matching women with BED who have high attachment anxiety to Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy (GPIP). This study represents the next phase in a program of research stemming from a previously conducted randomized controlled trial (RCT).

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| High attachment anxiety condition | Experimental | 16 weeks of Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy for patients with Binge Eating Disorder, matching them by attachment anxiety dimensions in order to enhance the impact of the therapy. It is hypothesized that by optimally matching patients to groups, they will have better clinical and health outcomes. |
|
| Low attachment anxiety condition | Experimental | 16 weeks of Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy for patients with Binge Eating Disorder, matching them by attachment anxiety dimensions in order to enhance the impact of the therapy. It is hypothesized that by optimally matching patients to groups, they will have better clinical and health outcomes. |

| Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy | Behavioral | This intervention will consist of 16 weekly 90 minute sessions of Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy (GPIP). GPIP was developed and empirically tested in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) at our Centre. GPIP will be preceded by an individual pre-group preparation session conducted by a psychologist trained in GPIP to orient the patient to the therapy. Patients are given a rationale for the treatment. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency of Binge Eating in the Past 28 Days | Pre and Post treatment, 6 months and 1 year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Depression Symptoms | Early response to treatment is indicated by a reduction in depression symptoms measured by The Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II; Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996). The BDI-II is scored by summing the ratings for the 21 items. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3. The range for this scale is 0-63. Higher scores represent more depressive symptoms. We included cases that were missing up to 8 missing items and calculated scores for participants with missing items by taking the weighted mean and multiplying by 21. |

| FG000 | Low Attachment Anxiety Condition | In our study sample, the range of scores for the Need for Approval subscale of the Attachment Style Questionnaire was 1.86-5.71 (the possible range of this subscale is 1-7). Participants in this group scored lower than the cut off of 3.59 on the Need for Approval subscale of the Attachment Style questionnaire. They were assigned to therapy groups homogeneously composed of participants with low attachment anxiety (i.e. others that scored below the cut off). The type of therapy administered to this group was Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy (GPIP; Tasca, G., Mikail, S. & Hewitt, P. Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy: A Manual for Time Limited Treatment of Binge Eating Disorder. (2002).) Participants received 16 weekly 90 minute sessions of GPIP from a male or female therapist. |
