The Eating Disorder Inventory II (EDI-II), State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI), and the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) were administered to all patients. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; 3 subjects failed to engage in psychotherapy. Comparing patients who dropped out (n = 28) with those who did not drop out from psychotherapy (n = 55), significant differences were found in some psychopathologic (EDI-II, STAXI) and personality (TCI) variables. In particular, patients who dropped out from the treatment were more impulsive and more likely to feel anger; they were also less cooperative and less self-directive. No significant differences in sociodemographic, clinical variables and in response to fluoxetine were found between the two groups (dropout and completers). &lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt; We found a characteristic profile in the bulimic patients who dropped out from brief psychotherapy, i.e., they are less cooperative and more predisposed to anger. These data suggest that dropping out in a subgroup of BN patients could be related to borderline personality traits and to difficulties in making and maintaining a therapeutic relationship. Implications for treatment are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000070784","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,6,13]],"date-time":"2003-06-13T07:08:23Z","timestamp":1055488103000},"page":"203-210","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Dropout from Brief Psychotherapy within a Combination Treatment in Bulimia nervosa: Role of Personality and Anger"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"Secondo","family":"Fassino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Abbate-Daga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Pier\u00f2","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Leombruni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanni Giacomo","family":"Rovera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0447.2000.101004256.x"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.157.8.1332"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000056270"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.157.8.1302"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000012410"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.158.4.632"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-4679(199906)55:6<715::AID-JCLP5>3.3.CO;2-2"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1098-108X(199707)22:1<35::AID-EAT4>3.0.CO;2-3"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1098-108X(200009)28:2<209::AID-EAT10>3.0.CO;2-L"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000063645"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-3999(91)90110-A"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.1066"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1098-108X(200103)29:2<139::AID-EAT1003>3.0.CO;2-I"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1098-108X(200001)27:1<96::AID-EAT11>3.3.CO;2-J"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0005-7967(98)00149-1"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005053-199711000-00009"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.10099"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1098-108X(200004)27:3<353::AID-EAT14>3.0.CO;2-E"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0165-1781(95)02577-J"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-1781(00)00157-8"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000056254"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0272-7358(95)00042-9"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1098-108X(200012)28:4<446::AID-EAT13>3.0.CO;2-J"},{"key":"ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0010-440X(99)90078-0"},{"key":"ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000049344"},{"key":"ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000056264"},{"key":"ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1098-108X(200009)28:2<139::AID-EAT2>3.0.CO;2-G"},{"key":"ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000049340"},{"key":"ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000056273"},{"key":"ref30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000012338"}],"container-title":["Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/70784","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/70784","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:23:50Z","timestamp":1745465030000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000070784"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2003]]},"references-count":30,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,8,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000070784","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0033-3190","1423-0348"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0033-3190","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0348","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2003]]}}}
