Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Individuals with eating disorders tend to suffer from low self-esteem, depression, and perceived lack of control. Initial treatment for anorexia focuses on weight gain (by feeding tube, contingent reinforcement for weight gain, or both). Cognitive behavioral and family therapy sessions are common after weight gain, but relapse and continued obsession with weight are common. Bulimia has been somewhat successfully treated with psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and antidepressant medications; the most successful has been a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and use of antidepressant medications. Binge-eating disorder is most commonly treated with cognitive behavior therapy, although it has been more successful in eliminating the binging than in reducing weight.
