Data collection tools were the Frangrani Wells Questionnaire (1994) and the Dutch Eating Habit Questionnaire (Van Austrin et al., 1986). Both experimental and control groups were pre-tested using research tools. Then the intervention of compassion-based therapy and attachment-based compassion-based therapy were performed in eight sessions for their respective experimental groups. At the end of the interventions, both experimental and control groups were post-tested using research tools. Data were analyzed using mixed analysis of variance.
