Eating Disorders in the News
|
|
As mental health professionals we are trained in cultural competence and diversity. We often attend trainings about vulnerable populations and how to best serve them. Furthermore, we are trained to look at our own biases so that we do no harm to our patients. Unfortunately, we don't get much training or any at all, about treating patients in larger bodies, despite good evidence that weight stigma is present in our society. Read more

Symposium 2018, Saturday, March 24th
As the "fight against obesity" continues to gain momentum, unfortunately so do the unforeseen ill-effects of weight stigma, and ED treatment settings are not immune. After reviewing the relevant research, this interactive round table discussion will explore weight biases in ED treatment settings-including approaches that hierarchize differently sized bodies, that assume all individuals seeking treatment will/can/should be thin, and that reassure individuals that "you won't get fat"-and problem-solve how such bias/stigma can be minimized. Following the round table, recommendations from the iaedp™ Symposium attendees, in addition to attendees of other related conferences, will be published. Read more

EMDR treatment, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, can help eating disorder recovery. EMDR, which is performed by someone licensed and trained in EMDR, is a rapid eye movement therapy usually associated with PTSD because it works to treat trauma. According to the director of the New York Center for Eating Disorders, 40-60% of men and women who they treat for eating disorders have experienced sexual abuse. Since sexual abuse is traumatic, EMDR can help on the road to eating disorder recovery.

Symposium 2018, Thursday, March 22nd
Variations of Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) have been used to treat a range of symptoms, including negative body image. In this workshop attendees will learn EMDR principles and techniques as applied to negative body image in eating disorders, as well as the neurobiology behind the effectiveness of EMDR in this population. This presentation is appropriate for clinicians with and without previous EMDR training. Attendees will leave this session with a step-by-step process from history taking and creating safety to reprocessing to address negative body image symptoms in clients with eating disorders. Video excerpts and in-session demonstrations will be utilized. Read more

Although almost all healthcare professionals must break bad news to patients and families at one time during their career, only 10% of physicians have been formally trained. Few if any have been trained how to navigate through difficult dialogues or resolve conflict. Studies have shown that the manner in which sad or tragic news is given can effect patients for decades. Dr. Orsini will discuss the innovative Breaking Bad News PROGRAM designed to train healthcare professionals how to communicate effectively and with compassion. This lecture will discuss various verbal and non-verbal techniques using photos and videos from previous training programs. Read more

The Brain That Changes Itself and Eating Disorders
The discovery of neuroplasticity that thought and mental experience can change brain structure and function is the most important change in our understanding of the brain in 400 years. Our brains are not hardwired, or hardware, or computers, or machines What we do changes our brains, for the better or the worse. The discovery of neuroplasticity raises the question, how might these discoveries affect our understanding, and improve our treatment of eating disorders? Does the discovery of plasticity mean we change our model completely, or can we integrate these findings into existing knowledge?

Hope is consistently identified as both a key component of-and even a prerequisite-for recovery across mental illnesses. A trigger for healing as well as a maintaining factor, hope has important implications for lasting recovery. Using a neuroscientific model, this unique workshop combines research and clinical knowledge with a patient's perspective to demonstrate how hope is real, tangible, and even required in eating disorder recovery. An informative, interactive as well as entertaining presentation, this workshop provides a practical, neuroscientific explanation of hope as well as concrete tools for helping clients to achieve lasting recovery.
