Description of Presentation:
This presentation will examine the key factors and ten therapeutic interventions for change when working with individuals with eating disorders. Recovery is a frightening process and for patients it can be comparable to jumping off a cliff with no parachute. This presentation will help outpatient clinicians assist patients in building structure or little parachutes that can assist in catching them when they fall in recovery and help them safely land in their recovery. Forty-six patients that recovered from an eating disorder were surveyed to determine what the main obstacles and barriers were in their recovery and what critical factors and behavioral changes helped them move toward a recovered life. Clinicians will receive hands on tools and interventions that they can implement with patients.
Learning Objectives:
Based on the content of the workshop participants will be able to:
1) List the key obstacles and barriers that keep patients stuck in their eating disorder.
2) Explain the critical factors and behavioral changes that enabled patients to start moving towards a recovered life.
3) Discuss the 10 Therapeutic inventions to support recovery.
