Since 1991, the Conference has been dedicated to providing eating disorders education and training for professionals and creating a stimulating environment in which to discover, debate and share the best of what we bring to our profession.
To commemorate three decades of growth, outstanding scholarship and interpersonal connection, Conference 2020 has invited experts and luminaries in the field of eating disorders and women’s mental health to create an exceptional program. Through thoughtful reflection, research and clinical practice, we will explore treatment, cultural influences, trauma, genetics, and trends in neuroscience. In keeping with our Feminist-Relational roots, numerous events are planned to foster rejuvenation as well as networking with professionals from around the globe.
Dr. Brisman will be presenting with Dr. Judith Ruskay Rabinor on Saturday, November 9th, 10:30 am-12:30pm, a talk titled Relational Perspectives: Strategies, Interventions and the Healing Therapeutic Stance. Relational skills are needed for eating disorder recovery, yet the development of these skills within the therapeutic relationship is often overlooked. This workshop offers guidelines to create an emotionally- engaged therapeutic stance. Clinical and experiential material will focus on assessing relational patterns, deepening therapeutic exchanges and allowing for relational connection.
