Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) Full Day Workshop

About this event

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

Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) first developed by Dr Gini McIntosh in New Zealand in the early 2000s is a psychotherapy option in the treatment of anorexia nervosa. In a 2005 clinical trial (McIntosh et al., 2005) SSCM was found to be superior to both CBT and IPT and continues to be recognised as a valid and effective treatment for anorexia nervosa. 

Comprising of 2 distinct components:

• Alleviation of the symptoms of anorexia nervosa, (focusing on weight gain via resumption of normal eating)
• Supportive psychotherapeutic approach to issues, including those that may impact the eating disorder

This 1 day workshop will include

• A description of the key therapeutic strategies in SSCM and its evidence base
• Tools for delivering the therapy will be presented, using practical techniques and case material
• The commonalities and distinctions between SSCM and other psychological treatments for adults with anorexia nervosa (such as CBT-E and MANTA) will be highlighted throughout
