🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This project will evaluate MDMA Assisted Therapy (MDMA-AT) assisted psychotherapy for the treatment of Bulimia Nervosa (BN) over a 10-week period.

Participants are assigned to one of three groups: MDMA-AT, MDMA-AT-BN, and Standard Treatment (ST). MDMA groups include three experimental session that include dosing, which are each followed by three integrative sessions and also include 12 psychotherapy sessions. A follow-up will take place at 6-months post baseline.
