Understanding the Principles & Application of CBT-E & FBT for Dietitians Including the Foundations of Outpatient Paediatric Management (<16 years)

About this event

WAEDOCS Eating Disorder Masterclass Series for Dietitians presented by Sonya Douglas and Kate Fleming.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Enhanced (CBT-E) is a specialised form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping the person living with an eating disorder to change their thoughts and behaviours around food and eating. While this therapy is delivered by psychologists, there are key elements that dietitians can use to enhance their engagement with their clients.

FBT (Family-Based Treatment) is a therapy for eating disorders that involves family members in the recovery process and is particularly effective for adolescents and children. Again, this therapy is delivered by psychologist however it’s important that dietitians are able to support families and young people without misaligning treatment.

This collaborative workshop will include information on:

• Increase the dietitian’s working knowledge and skills in evidence informed dietetic care for psychological treatments for individuals living with an eating disorder (FBT, CBT-E)
• A brief overview of the outpatient paediatric dietetic management of eating disorders
• Be able to apply working knowledge into every day dietetic practice

Education provided at this masterclass builds on the ANZAED dietetics practice standards. It is suitable for dietitians across all care settings and fosters development of existing eating disorders knowledge with more advanced practice skills. Through the day attendees will be provided with didactic, interactive and experiential practise opportunities.

It is implied that dietitians attending this workshop already understand the foundations of evidence-based dietetic management for eating disorders.
