AbstractAn outcome study on inpatient treatment for binge-eating males was conducted (N = 50, average follow-up duration = 23 months). The sample differed from those described in studies of bulimia in males in that the majority of these subjects had no history of self-induced vomiting or use of laxatives or diuretics and were older and obese upon presentation for treatment. Follow-up measures indicated that these subjects responded well to inpatient treatment. Upon follow-up, subjects reported little medical or psychiatric resource utilization other than what was prescribed as aftercare, improvement in eating disorder-related medical conditions, good ratings of general mental health, and significant decreases in binge eating and other eating disorder-related behaviors over the follow-up duration. “Good” outcome patients, that is, subjects reporting substantial positive change in eating behavior
