Some clients in outpatient psychotherapy for disordered eating are members of 12-Step recovery programs that use the addictions model, based on that of Alcoholics Anonymous, to address eating problems. Many of the tenets of such programs, which work well when applied to alcohol and drug problems, are actually counter-productive for eating disorder sufferers. In this workshop, the presenters will explain ways in which the philosophy of the addictions/abstinence model parallels the schema of eating disorders themselves, and offer clinical interventions for shifting and expanding clients’ perspectives to that of a comprehensive, integrative model of recovery.
