Introduction to the Treatment of Eating Disorders

A virtual workshop with CSAB co-director Jake Pine, LCSW

Tuesdays October 3, 10, & 17, 2023, 6:30-8:00pm

Approved for 4.5 CE credits

How, where, and when to get treatment for an eating disorder is one of the more difficult and important decisions an individual, family or treatment provider will have to make. This three-session seminar on the treatment of eating disorders will serve as a primer to the different treatment models often used to treat eating disorders. We will also explore the different levels of care frequently utilized in eating disorder treatment, and when and how to decide which level of care is necessary at the different stages of the disorder. This class will introduce participants to concepts of psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, DBT, FBT/Maudsley, IFS, and other theories, and their applications to eating disorder treatment. We will become familiar with the nuanced differences between inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, PHP, IOP, and outpatient treatment.

Melting Away Resistance in Eating Disorder Treatment

A hybrid workshop with Donna Fish, LCSW-R

Saturday, October 21, 2023, 10:30am-12:30pm EST

Approved for 2 CE credits

Note: This workshop is available both in-person and on Zoom. 

Patients who come to us with eating disorders initially want change and they are distressed. Most of the time, however, the powerful reasons for the development of their eating disorder, will reemerge. This workshop will focus on the specific outcome and process resistances that are common to eating disorders, and will offer therapists specific tools to use with patients at the outset so that the agenda for the work is established. Ways to positively reframe and maintain the advantages of symptoms will be identified. Additionally we will focus on ways to preserve safety and to offer the Gentle Ultimatum in order to effectively set up a treatment plan that takes pressure off of the therapist needing the patient to change.
