Summary
This study will test the effectiveness of two empirically-supported but distinct treatments
for recurrent binge eating in obese patients: 1) Cognitive Behavior Therapy, using a pure
self-help approach and 2) sibutramine, an anti-obesity medication also found to have efficacy
for binge eating. Self-help Cognitive Behavior Therapy and sibutramine will be administered
alone and in combination in a primary care setting.
