The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) treatment guidelines state that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Binge Eating Disorder (CBT-BED) is the first line treatment for BED. Given around 75 per cent of people with BED have higher weight, the training has a specific focus on working with BED and higher weight. This two-day training provides a solid over-view of the delivery of CBT BED including a mix of audio
recordings of client sessions, small groups discussion and role plays. The training has the following learning goals:

• Learning outcome one: Understanding epidemiology, diagnosis (including differential diagnosis and diagnostic limitations), assessment of BED and the current evidence base.
• Learning outcome two: Understanding theoretical models and psychological theories that contribute to the conceptualisation of BED.
• Learning outcome three: Developing a nuanced understanding of the literature on weight loss sufficient to support client centered decision making and work with a broad range of referrers.
• Learning outcome four: Building confidence to deliver the core interventions in CBT BED including but not limited to: developing a formulation specific to BED, providing psychoeducation around higher weight and weight stigma, normalising eating in light of the neurocognitive profile of BED, understanding binge cues, working with self criticism, imagery rescripting for body shame and negative core beliefs, and improving body image.
