TREATING EATING DISORDERS: INTEGRATING PSYCHOTHERAPY AND NUTRITION
Friday, February 09, 2024, 9:00 AM EDT
Category: CE Events: Adult Individuals

Eating disorders (EDs) are collection of psychological diagnoses, characterized by eating behaviors and psychological disturbances, that can negatively impact health, quality of life, and psycho-social function and development. Moreover, research suggests that both prevalence and severity have spiked in recent years, so it is increasingly likely that professionals with a role in human welfare will encounter individuals affected by an eating disorder. The aim of this training is to educate on eating disorder treatment, as well as to share practical skills that facilitate embodiment, reduce body shame, and promote health across the care of all individuals. Participants will learn about eating disorder etiology, the various diagnoses, assessment/screening, complications, interventions, the many co-occurring issues that can accompany eating disorders, and intersectional topics around body image and social justice. Different modalities of treatment including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness will be addressed. Additionally, participants will learn about the role of a Registered Dietitian in the nutritional therapy of an ED from assessment and common behaviors to meal planning and goals. You will gain an appreciation for the complexity and uniqueness of each individual’s ED experience, and thus the benefit of a multidisciplinary team.
