Abstract
Eating disorders are notoriously difficult to treat, because some eating disorders carry high medical and psychiatric risk. Because of this, many clinicians shy away from accepting into their practice someone presenting with an eating disorder. Yet eating disorders are highly prevalent and in general settings, most clinicians are treating people with an eating disorder – even if the patient is presenting with other problems.
This workshop will focus on managing some of the thorny elements in the assessment, early intervention and treatment of body image and eating disorders, so that participants will be better able and more confident to assess, refer out or manage people with body image and eating disorders.
Learning Objectives
- Greater understanding of the prevalence of eating disorders.
- Increased confidence to assess, identify and manage body image and eating disorders.
- Increased knowledge of some different interventions for body image and eating disorders.
