 STUDY OBJECTIVES AND HYPOTHESES The primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of two methods of administering a dialectical behavior therapy DBT self-help intervention in a community sample of individuals with BED in NL: guided DBT self-help DBT-GSH and unguided DBT self-help DBT-USH. A third condition designed to control for non-specific or common factors e.g., receiving a self-help book will also be included NS-SH. This condition will be a self-help manual focused on improving low self-esteem using CBT strategies with no reference to binge eating.
