Webinar from the 2009 International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals Symposium. Note: For this course there is a small additional fee to obtain the webinar. Please see the “Get Course Materials” link in the right sidebar for details.
In this webinar, participants will learn about the concept of mentalizing and how it can be applied in eating disorder treatment to enhance patients’ interpersonal effectiveness and capacity for empathy with self and others. Among others, Finn Skaarderuud and Kathryn Zerbe are raising awareness that eating disorder patients need to have a conscious understanding of the meaning of their eating disorder behavior. Mentalizing provides the time and space within the therapeutic relationship to strengthen adaptive defenses, explore issues of attachment and build new ego strengths. An interactive demonstration of mentalizing exercises will be presented with the participation of attendees.
Eating disorders typically lead to a disconnect between mind and body. Psychodrama is one therapeutic technique that can be utilized to reconnect mind and body together. Here is a unique opportunity to gain experience in understanding psychodrama, its history, and philosophy. This experiential workshop will provide you with specific interventions that you can use with your clients in your own practice.
