الوصف: Objective\ud Although it is important to analyze the effectiveness of new therapies, it is also necessary to consider how patients experience them. This is particularly important if we are to maximize treatment acceptability and reduce attrition. This study examined patient experiences of a new 10‐session cognitive‐behavioral therapy (CBT‐T), using a qualitative approach.\ud \ud Method\ud The sample was 17 patients with a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa who had received CBT‐T (including treatment completers and non‐completers) within the previous 2 years. Sample size was determined by saturation of the emergent themes. Responses were analyzed using a six‐step thematic analysis process.\ud \ud Results\ud Rated acceptability and effectiveness of CBT‐T were high. Five themes emerged, with subthemes. The key elements of patient experience of the therapy were: the therapeutic relationship; the nature of the therapy; its challenging but beneficial aspects; ending therapy; and the overall experience of CBT‐T (including comparison with other therapies).\ud \ud Discussion\ud The findings build on the effectiveness research for CBT‐T, suggesting that it is an acceptable therapy that addresses many of the same themes that matter to patients as other therapies. The findings show that patients were positive about CBT‐T relative to other therapies, and offer suggestions as to how CBT‐T might be delivered to emphasize the importance of the time‐limited nature of the therapy.
