Assessment and treatment of adolescents and adults with Eating Disorders in private practice: A comprehensive 3-day workshop

About this event

This three-day online interactive workshop is designed to give you what you need to know to confidently identify, assess, diagnose and implement effective treatment with clients with eating disorders in private practice.

It has been developed and is facilitated by Dr Sarah Egan and Dr Amanda Bolton, active treating senior clinicians for clinicians with real world experience of the complexities of working with this client group in the private practice framework.

It integrates an introduction to the EDs as well as comprising two days of treatment-specific training. No pre-requisite training required! You will not only learn the principals of CBT-E but how to effectively integrate family work and other practical strategies to ensure you have the tools required to help clients successfully commence and progress through treatment.
