Once you recognize that a patient may have an eating disorder, do you know what should happen next? Eating-disorder treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Healthcare and community professionals must understand available treatment approaches, recognize when a higher level of care is needed, and help patients and families navigate appropriate next steps.

Led by Marissa Sappho, LCSW, BCD, CEDS-S, founder of Aurora Behavioral Health, this four-session seminar provides a practical framework for understanding the treatment landscape, collaborating across disciplines, and facilitating appropriate referrals.

Are you equipped to spot the subtle, early warning signs of an eating disorder before a formal diagnosis is ever made?

Early intervention is critical, yet real-world presentations rarely match textbook definitions. To bridge this gap, the Center for the Study of Anorexia and Bulimia (CSAB) invites you to a three-session, interactive online seminar hosted by the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP).

When couples haven’t had sex

in a long time they often feel hopeless and therapists often feel unsure how to help them. This presentation will explore how to shift couples from a state of sexual disconnection to an experience of erotic discovery.

We will discuss how to understand common underlying dynamics as well as identify and transform narratives maintaining sexual avoidance. Included is how to conduct a culturally sensitive relational sexual history to develop counter-narratives that enhance erotic connection. 6 NYS & 6 AASECT CE Credits. With Suzanne Iasenza, PhD

This virtual presentation, led by Melainie Rogers on May 29, 2026, examines whether the Health at Every Size (HAES) framework remains relevant in a culture increasingly dominated by GLP-1RA medications like Ozempic. The session explores the tension between body-neutral health approaches and the renewed societal pressure for weight loss driven by the widespread availability and celebrity endorsement of these drugs. Targeted at clinicians and students, the event offers 1.5 NYS continuing education credits and focuses on navigating the current "whiplash" of diet culture.

What happens when the psychic boundary presumed to separate analyst and patient is breached by telepathic transmission?

Drawing on clinical material, de Peyer proposes a shift from assumptions of psychic separation to non-sensory, field-based communication that challenges prevailing analytic epistemologies. Through two contrasting cases of unbidden telepathic transmission, she explores both the dilemmas and generative potential of uncanny phenomena—such as telepathic dreams—situating them within a relational, two-person field. She suggests that moments of uncanny attunement, when met with openness and tolerance of uncertainty, can serve as portals to previously unavailable clinical material. 2 NYS CE Credits.

Working with eating disorders often feels like a tug-of-war. You provide the best evidence-based care, but the progress stalls once the client returns to their home environment. To truly sustain recovery, we must move beyond the individual and address the relational biology of the family. This workshop goes beneath the surface of behavioral interventions to explore the neurobiology of the family unit. 2 CE Credits.

This presentation introduces a patient-centered, empowerment-based framework for treating individuals living with both PCOS and disordered eating. Through three compelling case studies, this workshop will examine how to create care plans that are truly individualized and responsive to each patient’s hormonal, nutritional, and psychological profile. 1.5 CE Credits.

This small-group seminar expands on the themes of Friday’s lecture, exploring how even seemingly ordinary clinical decisions often reflect deeper transference–countertransference dynamics. Together, we will examine how analysts and patients co-create micro-enactments—brief, seconds-long interactions that reveal which internal “characters” are coming alive in the therapeutic relationship. A case presentation will illustrate how these rapid, enactive processes shape the analytic encounter. Participation is limited to 25 people, and while attending the Friday lecture is encouraged, it is not required.

In this in-person workshop, Stephen Seligman, DMH, in conversation with Ed Corrigan, PhD, explores how the tiniest moments between patient and therapist—sometimes just a few seconds—can reveal deep, emotionally charged patterns of relating. Drawing on relational and object relations theories, infant observation research, and traditional Freudian concepts, they will use video of infant–parent interaction to illuminate how “ordinary” technical choices often reflect our participation in powerful, often unnoticed enactments, which can be deadening, upsetting, enlivening, or deeply transformative. 2 NYS CE Credits.
