1. Introduction 12 Personality and Coping in Groups With and Without Bulimic Behaviors Tomaz Renata1 and Zanini Daniela S2 1Alves Faria College 2Pontifical Catholic University of Goias Brazil Eating disorders have been increasing year by year, mainly due to social demands for anorexic standards of beauty (Cordás, 2004). Among the eating disorders, bulimia, described as episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors (Cordás, 2004), stands out. Globalization and capitalism largely develop markets that explore beauty (for example, media, marketing strategies, chemical industries), and require their audience to follow a trend dictated by them (Souza & Santos, 2007). That makes Wolf (1991) postulate beauty as a monetary system similar to gold, a cult of beauty and thinness which intensified the development of eating disorders such as bulimia. Since Hippocrates, in 467 BC, Boulos was the terminology used to describe a sick hunger. But it was in 1743, when James described binge eating as “true boulimus”, and bulimic episodes as “caninus appetites”, that bulimia started to be studied in its relation to health (Cordás, 2004). However, the recognition of an eating disorder called bulimia nervosa only occurred in 1979. In that year, Russell described cases of this disease linked to anorexia nervosa. Both diseases are similar and, in most cases, appear as concurrent or comorbidities. However, in bulimia there is not extreme weight loss as in anorexia (Busse, 2004). Bulimia is characterized by an excessive consumption of food which does not aim for satiation. The DSM-IV emphasizes two factors related to binge eating: quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative factor is related to the excess of food intake, an amount of food superior than people are used to or need to consume. The qualitative factor would be the lack of control characteristic of binge eating, in which the individuals cannot stop eating. Both factors are common in the bulimia disease. In general, after a gorging food intake, the person experiences guilt and fear of gaining weight that can trigger compensatory behaviors like self-induced vomiting, overuse of laxatives, diuretics, thyroid hormones, anorectic drugs, diets and excessive exercise in order to avoid weight gain. In addition to these behaviors there is an increased dissatisfaction with their bodies, often leading to body image distortion (Chemin & Milito, 2007). Compensatory behaviors used by patients with bulimia generate considerable harm to their health. Among them we can mention severe changes in the central nervous system, changes in the cycle of satiation, metabolism and production of neurotransmitters (Chemin & Milito, 2007; Sicchieri, Bighetti, Borges, Santos, Ribeiro, 2006).
