What We Wished We Knew Then: Expanding the Therapeutic Terrain in the Treatment of Eating Disorders

Tuesday Morning Clinical Education Meeting

Details: Tuesday Morning Clinical Education Meeting
Time: 10:00am–11:30am
Host: Judith Brisman, Ph.D., CEDS
Location: Virtual Education Meeting
Venue: Zoom

The treatment of eating disorders has evolved dramatically over the years. Traditional therapeutic boundaries continually need to change to reach the patient deeply embedded in the world of food and weight. How, when and why can the therapeutic terrain be expanded without eroding the safety of the treatment? Dr. Brisman will discuss a model in which behavioral change is interwoven into interpersonal exploration, with a sensitivity to who – both patient and therapist – is in the room at any given time. A clinical case will be presented, allowing for the question that needs to endlessly be considered: What works – and why?
