Principles of CBT-E and FBT

About this event

This workshop is suitable for ALL clinicians collaborating with people living with an eating disorder.

This one-day workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of two leading and commonly used evidence-based treatment for eating disorders in adults (Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy; CBT-E) and children and adolescents (Family Based Treatment; FBT). Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Enhanced (CBT-E) is a specialised form of psychotherapy focused on helping the person living with an eating disorder to change their thoughts and behaviours around food and eating. 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.

NOTE: This workshop is NOT intended as training in CBT-E or FBT. It is designed for health professionals who may be working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, with individuals who are receiving one of these treatments and who therefore require a sound understanding of what is involved in these treatment models.

This collaborative workshop will include information on:

• The development of CBT-E
• Transdiagnostic theory on which it is based and the evidence base for this treatment.
• The four stages of CBT-E
• Understanding of the thinking behind FBT, its key tenets and the therapeutic stance.
• The three stages of FBT

The strategies and tools used in these therapies will be explored through the use of video, role play and interactive activities.
