My clinical work has been in treating obesity and eating disorders (binge eating disorder, the night eating syndrome, bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, and pica). \u00a0\u00a0I have supervised eating disorder groups and provided supervision to interns and residents in psychiatry. I also have supervised programs for patients pre and post bariatric surgery and conducted bariatric evaluations. My clinical approach has been to use evidence-based treatments, primarily cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) for eating disorders and to recommend medication when appropriate. I have conducted clinical trials to test new drug treatments for eating disorders, such as rimonabant for binge eating disorder. Two new scales have been developed for assessing emotional eating, the Emotional Appetite Questionnaire (EMAQ) and the night eating syndrome, the Night Eating Diagnostic Questionnaire (NEDQ) which have been well validated.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Current Studies<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are currently conducting an RCT funded by NIH on the effects of discounts on healthy foods at a supermarket chain in NYC. Supermarket participants are randomized to receive 0, 15%, and 30% discounts on fruits and vegetables and noncaloric beverages. Besides examining food intake, we are also assessing changes in body weight and body fat, as well as blood pressure and other medical risk factors.<\/p>\n

We are also conducting an fMRI component as part of an NIH study on obesity (PI: Ruth Loos).<\/p>\n
