Overview:

Eating Disorders pose a tremendous threat to an individual's physical and mental well-being and are usually a source of great concern to friends, family and professionals alike. This course looks at the full range of eating disorder presentations, and recognizes that many individuals present in ways that don't perfectly fit any of the diagnostic categories. The course addresses the complex causes of an individual's eating disorder alongside validated and evidence-based cognitive behavioral understanding and techniques for successful intervention.

The aims of the course:

The course aims to communicate the following:

•  The nature and course of eating disorders.

•  Assessment and formulation, also with reference to risk assessment and management.

•  Psychological treatment methods, with especial reference to the NICE guidelines.


......................................................................................................................................................................

The course covers:

•  Eating Disorder categorizations and how well - or badly - individuals fit into the categories.

•  NICE guidelines for treatment.

•  The first session; the therapeutic alliance, trust, empathy, and assessment.

•  Risk assessment and management: some eating disorders have a very high morbidity
   rate, so risk assessment needs to be thorough.

•  Assessment: motivation and insight; dietary and nutritional issues; core psychopathology
   of the Eating Disorder; co-morbid psychiatric illness; social and familial factors; cognitive
   factors.

•  The especial importance of multi-disciplinary working in this area.

•  Constructing and communicating a CBT formulation of the case.

•  The trans-diagnostic model - Fairburn's enhanced CBT for eating disorders (CBT-E).

•  The Maudsley Model of intervention.

•  Cognitive Emotional Behavior Therapy CEBT - covering the emotional component of
   Eating Disorders.

•  Family work: supporting carers and helping them contribute to the intervention.

•  Therapy interfering behaviors: people with eating disorders often exhibit therapy
   interfering behavior; we look at why this is and what is best to do about it.

•  Managing as an effective clinician: working with eating disorders is demanding, so how
   do we deal with our own anxiety and emotional responses?

•  Finishing work: concluding therapy successfully; follow up and relapse prevention.


Teaching methods include: lecture, discussion, case-studies, video material, and exercises
