In the present case-study, a 22-year-old female patient with a 7-year history of bulimia nervosa was treated by cue-exposure. During cue-exposure sessions the relationship between CS (stimuli associated with binge-eating behaviour) and UCS (the sensations related to the intake of binge food) was broken. As predicted, the patients' craving for food declined within as well as between cue exposure sessions and a radical decrease in the frequency of binge-eating persisted for at least nine months. Although during the therapy no explicit attention was paid to the patient's low mood and irrational self-talk, mood was improved and beliefs were less irrational after cue-exposure and at the follow-ups. The data suggest that cue exposure may be an effective part of the treatment of bulimia nervosa.
