Binge eating disorder is one of the psychological disorders that has recently become more and more common among women. The aim of this study was  to develop  the therapy protocol based on paradoxical timetabling model and its effectiveness on binge eating disorder women. The research method was mixed anova in the unbalanced control group. The statistical population was women who volunteered to the clinic of Shahid Beheshti University of Nutrition in 1398 and after the interview, had binge eating disorder and inclusion criteria. The sample size was 24 people who were divided into experimental and control groups of 12 people. The instruments used in this study were Gormaly binge eating Questionnaire (BES) and researcher-made protocol. The therapy protocol was designed according to the paradoxical schedule model and its theoretical foundations in two individual and interpersonal domains. The treatment protocol was performed on the experimental group in ten sessions of two hours and one session per week. The results showed that the treatment protocol was effective on binge eating disorder with 99% confidence and its effects were stable until the follow-up stage. The effectiveness of this treatment model confirmed its rapid, profound and lasting effect as a short-term treatment.

This study investigated the comparison of abuse experiences and mindful eating in women with high body mass index with and without binge eating disorder and women with normal weight. This study was descriptive with comparative design. The study population consisted of women referring to two nutrition counseling centers in Rasht in 1400. The sample consisted of 179 women who were selected by purposive sampling method. Data were collected using Stice's Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale (2000), Bernstein's Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (2003), and Framson's Mindful Eating Questionnaire (2009). Results of univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance showed that the abuse experiences in overweight and obese women with binge eating disorder were higher than overweight and obese women without the disorder and in both groups were more than normal weight women. Women in the binge eating group had lower scores in mindful eating than women without the disorder, and both groups had lower scores than normal-weight women, even when controlling for age. According to the findings, abuse experiences and mindful eating have important role in the pathology of obesity, overweight and binge eating disorder. Designing educational/therapeutic programs aimed at reducing the psychological consequences of abuse and teaching mindful eating techniques can be helpful.
