Teenagers with eating disorders represent one of the keenest treatment challenges. This workshop will focus on the use of multiple strategies to treat these illnesses. The workshop will begin with an overview of what we have learned about the adolescent brain and how this affects their readiness for treatment. Subsequent presentations will discuss experimental use of experiential interventions designed to access the unique developmental challenges of the adolescent brain.
Content Outline:
This workshop will begin with an overview of course of illness and outcome data related to teenagers with Anorexia Nervoa and Bulimia. Since this data indicates that teenagers with eating disorders have a high relapse rate, we will offer some preliminary explanations for these findings. We will explore both psychological and neurodevelopmental explanations. Following this introduction, four highly experienced clinicians will present a number of experiential interventions that they have found to be effective. Sufficient time will be allocated for extensive discussion of the challenges of working with this patient population.
This course is based on the recorded webinar, Experiential Strategies for Working With Adolescents With Eating Disorders: Overview created by Craig L. Johnson, PhD and Ovidio Bermudez, MD
