After working separately with both eating disorders and obesity, Joakim de Man Lapidoth started his research in December of 2003 at the Resource Centre for Eating Dis-orders, Örebro University Hospital, through postgraduate studies in the School of Health and Medical Sciences, Örebro University. When the resource centre was shut down in 2005, the research continued at the Psychiatric Research Centre in Örebro.
Eating disorders and binge eating has repeatedly been shown to be common in surgical and behavioural weight loss treatments. Due to methodological variations and shortcomings in previous research, there is insufficient in-formation about how eating disorders and binge eating are associated with outcome in weight loss treatments. There is therefore no consensus on how eating pathology should be addressed in weight loss treatments, which has led to large differences in the clinical practice. The main aim of this thesis was to address the issues of eating disorders and binge eating in weight loss treatments, and to investigate how binge eating is associated with long-term treatment outcome.
