Abstract	Much literature on eating disorders has been published since the late 1970's but authorities still do not agree on terminology or diagnostic criteria. Suggested therapies have included group therapy, individual and family therapy, medical procedures, incorporation of an anxiety model, behavior therapy, and feminist therapy. Therapists need to evaluate the results of each type of therapy. An interrupted time-series analysis is used in this case study. The subject was a 22-year-old white female who described her problem as over-eating and binging. Cognitive behavioral therapy was used. Two variables were used in analysis: the number of meals per day and the number of meals per day preceded by an uncomfortable emotion. While the quantity of meals remained stable, the proportion of client-defined meals preceded by an uncomfortable emotion declined. Feedback graphs of eating behavior helped the client develop a more realistic idea of her eating behavior. Graphing client behavior can be useful for both the client and the therapist. (ABL)
