What is Involved
Participants will be randomly allocated to either a CBT-E or GSH group for their treatment with a provisional psychologist. Participants will incur no cost for receiving treatment. Treatment is offered either in-person at Eating Disorders Victoria in Abbotsford, or via telehealth for those who cannot reasonably attend the clinic. Participation is therefore open to anyone who is living in Australia.

La Trobe University and Eating Disorders Victoria are seeking research participants to be involved in a study about stepped care treatment for eating disorders. If eligible, participants will receive no-cost evidence-based treatment for eating disorders (either Cognitive Behaviour Therapy [CBT] for Eating Disorders or Guided Self-Help [GSH] for Eating Disorders). Treatment is provided by provisional psychologists undertaking their masters degree under the supervision of a senior psychologist with extensive experience in treating eating disorders.
